On Wigeon watch, Ogden

 Plenty small gulls favouring the west shore

                                     Down to 3 Cormorant
                                        1 Little Grebe still present


With several Wigeon on the move I thought Ogden worth a try with plenty grazing shore to go at but after a good scan around I came up with a blank.
The ad Gt Crested Grebe is still present along with 1 Little Grebe but no Canadas tonight.
Around 80 BHGs, 25 Commons and 7 LBBs on the gull scene and again no Passerines other than Robins and Chaffinch.
As well as Long Tailed Tit, Treecreeper seems to have disappeared as I have,nt had one now for 18 months whereas they were once common around the perimeter of the water.
                                                                 Plenty Swallows >SW in migration mode over the village today.
