In search of a Yellow Browed Warbler, Ogden, p.m.

        Little Grebe, all taken into the low evening sun

                                                  Going under

              Unusual visitor, drake Tufted

                                           Fall of Coal Tits

With blue clear sunny skies and nothing moving it was off to Ogden late afternoon to pick up a Yellow Browed Warbler brought in on the easterly breeze, ha ha.
Passerine alley was quiet even with the bright sun bringing out the insects with just a few Blue and Great Tits.
A recent fall of Coal Tits was apparent around the feeders with about 15 counted.
A single Tree Pipit was at the bottom of the golf course.
On the water were around 100 Black Headed gulls along with 3 LBBs and 2 of the mid weeks 3 Little Grebes found but being very awkward about having their photos taken either keeping behind the Willows or directly in front of the low evening sun.
A drake Tufted was a rare visitor nearly going undetected in with the Mallards.
