Ogden.  Bright blue skies, sunny , cool NW>4  0700-1000hrs
With the annual mountain bike race taking over Fly Flatts I thought Id catch up on Warblers at Ogden only to find a few singing Willow Warblers hidden in the leaves plus the usual Robins, Wrens Chaffinches etc so
it was back to what I like best, skywatching.
From the watchpoint by passerine alley things started to move after 0900hrs with a steady flow of LBB gulls all >N along with several Swifts.
Three Cormorant went over in the distance very high and >N before turning to head >SW whilst a Sparrowhawk put in a brief appearance .
Still no Common Terns through and only a single sighting at this location last year?

Raggalds flood just had the 2 Lapwing, 2 Pied Wags and a pair of Mallard plus Swallows.
