Ogden 0800 hrs and still dark in a cool W>4
Nothing unusual on the water but a full walk around the circumference found it lively but too dark to attempt photos even when I was leaving at 0930 hrs when the whole area was in silhouette.
The highlight was a cronking Raven over >N and 3 Treecreepers together, one of which stayed about 10 yds from me which would have got me the best photos ever but in the low light the camera refused to even try and focus.
