A check of Ogden this evening found 3 returning BH gulls, all 1st summers whilst a steady flow of LBBs went high overhead >W.
Plenty Swifts and Swallows over the water and a higher number of Chaffinch than usual near the info centre.
The water held 6 Canadas, 1 m Tufted and the usual Mallards whilst a Heron stood in the edges in the NE corner. The water level is going down well now and should soon be showing some banking.
