Busy start, vis mig , quiet finish, Ogden

          Woodpigs on the move this a.m.

                 Ogden Little Grebe at distance
 Problem now is the water is so far away from the track
                                          Ogden pond

                Long staying Tufted

                      Little Grebe badly silhouetted
                                        Gone under
 Fall of Blackbirds, all female.

A decent vis mig this morning with a healthy move of Woodpigs, Mipits, Thrushes and Finches which continued until around 0930 when things quietened down.

An early evening visit to Ogden only produced the usual apart from a fall of female Blackbirds from this mornings thrush movement.
