Foggy Oggy

  Plenty of our own Robins left, the continentals having moved on.

          A muddy murky passerine alley

                                2 LBBs just visible through the fog.

With dense fog day long in Queensbury making Fly Flatts well and truly out of bounds, at least it would have been peaceful , so at 1500 hrs, armed with the 75-200mm lens, it was across to Ogden for a misty wet walk around the water. Walking around the perimeter was dark but workable with visibility just short of halfway across the water.
                          Other than 2 LBB gulls and a low count of Mallards the water was quiet with just the local resident birds in the trees and hedges and no signs of migrants as yet.
Several British Robins were present whilst the fall of Continentals have all moved on. Just 3 Goldcrest along with Coal, Blue and Great Tit, Chaffinch , Wrens and Blackbirds. No elusive Treecreeper again after only 1 seen last year but this is mainly due to woodland birding  not being my scene lacking the patience to stare at the trees for long. I,d much rather be out in the open with plenty sky and water to watch. Hopefully this fog will lift and I can get back up on the tops again tomorrow
