on its head.
1500 hrs and with some seriously heavy snow blizzards moving across the area I thought it best to stick near to base so a check on Ogden was the session of the day.
The target bird, Whooper Swan ,was once again not to be
and the area was otherwise quiet with the highlights being a pair of Tufted in the SE corner amongst the Mallards and 2 Canada geese whilst a pair of Goosander were sticking near to the banking at the northern end. Around 30 Black Headed gulls were on the water along with 3 Commons and 1 Lesser Black Backed.
A single Moorhen was rummaging about under the overhanging trees near the duck feeding corner but no sign of the second bird. Just a Grey Wagtail was down in the sluice gate area whilst 6 Chaffinch flew from the Lodge House into the trees behind the info centre.
Looking out of the window whilst I am typing this blog the horizontal snow is coming down thick and fast making tomorrow mornings session look a bit grim.
