Ogden area, 1500-1800hrs. Hot and sunny, slight E>3. Heavy going in the heat.
Started off in the area of NKs strange warbler sighting from yesterday but nothing showing although sitting near the water for 30 mins produced 9 species coming down to bathe.
A disappointment to find no Stonechat in the previous years area although there is a poor harvest of fern so far.
After doing the whole of Ogden I came away with very little and still no Garden Warb or Blackcap.
The water held 1 LBB gull and a few Mallard.
