Gulls on ice
Trying to land
Waiting for food
A bad start to the easter weekend with a trip to Ogden as most other venues are snowbound.
The reservoir was 75% froze and held just the usual Mallards 3 Canada Geese and the usual small gulls whilst passerines consisted of Blue and Gt Tits with the highlight being 2 Curlew over >W.
When I got back to the car I found the SLR camera I had in my bag for general scenes Id taken had fallen out. I carry the other SLR round my neck with the big lens on but as I put the other back in the bag I must have missed and dropped it in the snow.
A quick dash back to where Id used it last found nothing so pinned a note with my number on the info door waiting for the honest person that had picked it up to ring (Ha Ha), so an expensive outing.
On the way back
Raggalds Flood froze and snowed over
Trailer park field birdable but no Wheatear
Moorclose and Foxhill area, no Waxwings.
Apart from all that everything went well !!
