Very quiet over Queensbury so moved to the promenade at Ogden where things were a little livelier but nothing spectacular.
Finches were the birds of the day moving >S and >SW over the water whilst good numbers of gulls headed >SW.
A quick check on passerine alley found it buzzing with Goldcrests and Chiffchaffs whilst 5 Bullfinch flitted about through the Alders.
Looking across the water the Chaffinch flock was busy feeding around the NW corner.
Reports were coming in of several Redwing flocks >W over Oxenhope but these missed the Ogden area.
