Ogden p.m. check

                Good supply of LBB gulls


                                       juv LBB in the water
                         Herring gull in to land

                                   Usual 2 Gt Crested grebes
                                9 Canadas present
                                2 Herons together

With ideal moving conditions it was an after work check of Ogden although a once around the circumference on the water provided nothing special but plenty birds to check and an amazing amount of shoreline.
18 Lesser Black Backs of all ages were present along with around 40 Black Headeds whilst 4 Herring gulls went over >W with one landing briefly on the water.
The 2 resident Gt Crested Grebes and a male eclipse Tufted were diving for food whilst 9 Canadas and 2 Heron were at the north end.
On the way back 4 Kestrels were in the air together over Ned Hill.
