Thought Ogden was worth a coat of looking at this morning as early Sept last year was the time we had Gadwall, Shoveler and Teal all at the same time but unfortunately none of these this morning.
Conditions were much better than yesterday with some sun at 0700 hrs but this was soon taken over by 100 % cloud cover and a light SW>3.
The water just held the usual gulls, Cormorants and Heron with very little flying over other than a few Swallows. The west bank is where all the action was with a large flock of small passerines moving through about 30 yds into the wood. This group consisted of Willow Warblers, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Goldcrest, Tree Creepers, Nuthatch , the rest being Great, Blue and Coal Tits.
On the way back I did a tour of local hotspots in the hope of moving passerines but nothing special found.
