A quick after work check on Ogden with Scoters and Waders in mind but not to be.
The water held the usual Canadas with a count of 11 which is promising as birds attract birds so hopefully they.ll invite something down.
1 BH Gull was present along with the Mallards whilst the long staying Tufted has finally got fed up of Warburtons bread and moved on.
Calm clear blue skies looked raptorish had it not been June whilst a few LBB gulls headed for Oxenhope.
Did,nt have time to do the circuit as it was back down to Shelf Moor for more bungalow renovations where 9 Canadas came over and 2 very high Herring gulls >W.
An excellent report this morning from HC with a Cuckoo half way down the Dailie fields, nice one Compo.
