Lunch time dash
The place to itself, Common gull on the flood
Low cloud and scud over Ogden from Roper Lane/
A grey day after a foggy start but with a few wader reports coming in I thought it wise to keep checking the Raggalds Flood.
Just a single Common gull at lunch time with a few small gulls on Roper Lane in the fields.
The Bradshaw pond held 7 Mallard and 4 Canadas whilst 6 LBB gulls headed >NW in the mist.
The Old Guy Rd Grey Partridge have,nt been seen for a week now and other fields in the area just held corvids and small gulls.
A Skylark was making half an attempt at singing by the cricket field.
