Ogden, evening visit


                 juv Heron foreground, adult rear

                                   The resident LBBs

                                 1 pr + 1 juv Grey Wagtails

An evening visit to Ogden was a pleasant walk round even though nothing special was present.
The sky was grey and dark and damping slightly but the wind had eased considerably.
The camera was wound right down to the bottom to try get some light in but that makes it near impossible to hold it steady with such a slow shutter speed.
A pair of Grey Wagtails were around the overflow with a juv tagging on behind but all very mobile, whilst large numbers of Swallows and House Martins were dipping on the water before slowly drifting off >S.
                Canada goose numbers were up to 48 with around 100 Mallards, 42 BHgulls and 2 LBB gulls.
An adult Heron with 1 juv were in the NW corner amongst the Canadas. Passerines were noticeably by their absence.
