NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Breezy Ogden and Raggalds Flood
Ogden 1st light
Chaffinch
Best I could get on this Siskin
Raggalds Flood
Teal on the flood
Gale force winds and heavy drizzle made me decide against Fly Flatts so it was back to Ogden again to find a strong NW>6 with early light drizzle. A real photographers nightmare with it no really coming light until I was leaving at 1000hrs.
Very little about with the same small gulls on the water and a few Tit flocks around but no sign of Long Tailed.
Managed to find one Siskin skulking in the bottom of Alders and refusing to have its picture taken
A count of 140 Mallard which is over 100 down on this time last year probably due to the mild weather.
Strangely no Fieldfares around the Syke Lane fields.
