Ogden 18.45- 1930 hrs. Brightened up from earlier.
An evening dog walk at Ogden turned out to be nothing other than that with very little about.
The water held about a dozen Mallard and surprisingly NKs drake Goosander from earlier in the week. The bird was diving constantly and seemed quite settled.
A check on passerine alley only produced a couple of Willow Warblers due to the lateness of the hour.
Hope this fog doesnt creep in for morning.
