Ogden evening visit

                 Breeding success, juv Grey Wagtail
     This juv Gt Crested Grebe seemed happy amongst the gulls



                          Plenty Robins with juvs
                                       Long Tailed Tits moving back in.

A perfect evening with grey skies and some dark rain clouds with a WNW>5 so it was off to Ogden to check the situation.
Swallows and Swifts were piling through all >SW and >S with a few House Martins in with them whilst good numbers of BH gulls lined the shore along with just 2 Common gulls
Several LBBs went overhead all >NW, whilst the juv Gt Crested Grebe seemed well settled in with the Black Headed gulls
Passerine Alley is starting to liven up with several Long Tailed Tits, 3 Goldcrests and a single Chiffchaff.
A first smell of autumn this evening.
