Ogden just below the cloud base
All pics taken with Canon 60x bridge
BHG Common
No ringed birds today.
With fog on the tops throughout the day it was down to Ogden to get below the cloud base late afternoon where it was misty but the fog stopped at the tree tops. The rain pounded down throughout but luckily very little wind so no rain in the face.
With the bad conditions Big Bertha stayed at home so my rig for today was Canon 300mm on my Canon 7d mk2 body with a Canon 2x converter in my pocket just in case I needed to get out to 600mm for something like the Great White Egret on the shore line, dream on. I also had my Canon 60x bridge in my pocket which I used for the snaps.
Plenty small gulls,75 % Black Headed 25 % Common but a check through failed to turn up any leg rings. 3 Cormorant and a LBB gull were the only other contenders and with the rain getting heavier and heavier ,now torrential it was head for home.
