With very limited time today plus the horrible hot stuff it was a quick visit to Ogden with more people than birds.
Only 3 Cormorant and 9 Canadas present on the water as well as the usual Mallard.
Around 100 gull in total, mainly Black Headed , with a few Commons, c 20 LBBs and 1 Herring type.
An e mail from MC saying he badly misses gulls in Oxfordshire and requested I keep putting a few gulls on the blog so he could search through them for a Caspian which Huddersfield birders have just done and come up with the target bird, Caspian.
Unfortunately todays group photos are poor in the bright sun and all facing into the strong WNW>5 but they,ll be more to come in better conditions.
All facing into the wind
Interesting Herring gull type, centre

No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
