Mid afternoon Ogden. Early evening Back Lane, Ogden.

                                            Curlew and Jackdaw

Mistle Thrush.
A bit of an odd afternoon with a bit of shopping, a quick dog walk on Ogden promenade, off to the hospital with Lynda for a MRI scan then back to Ogdens Back Lane for an hours sky watching.
Ogden reservoir was very quiet with just Mallards and the drake Tufted present with no gulls and empty skies whilst the feeders were busy with Coal Tits and a single Nuthatch.

1630hrs at Back Lane was more interesting in a cold W>4, 15mph ,strong breeze with 50% cloud cover at 14 deg but feeling much colder with the wind chill.
Curlews and Mistle Thrush were present plus all the usual Woodpigeons, Corvids and Mipits up there whilst 2 Siskin were on the plantation pines,
Just short of 1 hours 360 deg sky watch from up there produced :-
3 Kestrel
1 Buzzard
5 Swallow
4 LBB gull
3 Herring gull
6 Curlew
2 Mistle Thrush
1 Green Woodpecker
4 Jays
