Ogden, last light visit

     This is what happens when you try to take 400mm pics in the near dark
                                           3 Little Grebe present

What looks like one of the last after work birding trips with the darkness almost in by 1845hrs although made worse by a dull day.
Around 150 Black Headed gulls were on the water along with the usual mallard which I carefully scanned through for visitors but not to be.
Passerine alley held 4 Goldcrest several Blue and Gt Tits and 1 Chiffchaff/Willow Warbler which would,nt come out to be identified. Two Goosander flew high and >N in the low cloud probably heading for the Oxenhope roost.
A bit of scanning found 3 Little Grebe up at the northern end close in to the shore so in an attempt to get some half decent shots in the fast fading light I scurried around there  unbeknown to me that it was nation nugget day with 2 half wits throwing plastic rings in the water for their dogs and one throwing sticks into the shale Dipper area all seeing who could shout the loudest orders to their dogs, hence, no decent pics, and a sharp rise in blood pressure.
Several Pipistrelle bats were around the info centre but I didnt even attempt to photograph them, Im not up to Tracys brothers bat photo standard yet.
