Dipper by the Ogden sluice gates
Unusual for Greylags at Ogden
Bright sunshine and blue skies at 0600 hrs when I got up this morning then as I set off at 0645 hrs the clouds had closed in and starting to snow.
Looking across I could see Fly Flatts was in the fog so down to Ogden where the snow was coming down heavily cutting visibility to half the reservoir.
A full circuit of the water in slightly improving conditions found very little in passerines other than Robins, Wrens and Dunnocks whilst the water held 17 Canadas, 2 Greylags, 1 Cormorant and a few BHGulls.
The Dipper was down by the sluice gates but no sign of the Kingfisher.

No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
