Hundreds of Swallows about
A calm Ogden
Raggalds Flood topped up for now
Mallards and Canadas enjoying the water
Did,nt get free until 1800hrs tonight but at least the days fog had finally lifted so it was a quick look at Ogden and up on the moor hoping for Ring Ouzel and Cuckoo but these 2 species were,nt to be.
The water was quiet other than the usual Mallards and a few Black Headed gulls so an Oystercatcher over the water high and >N was a bonus.
Once on the moor the black clouds came over and down came the rain so little was seen up there.
Raggalds Flood was well topped up and holding 8 male Mallards and 4 Canadas as well as 11 Woodpigeons and several corvids.
