Ogden

            Several Goldfinch in the Alders

                Kingfisher way down in the dark sluice gate 


On a real miserable morning with a strong NW>5, heavy drizzle and rain with dark skies and fog on the tops I had a quick check on Ogden to see if anything new had appeared on the water, its well overdue a Goldeneye there this year.
                                                      The water just held the usual small gulls and Mallards but good to see the Kingfisher way down at the bottom of the sluice gate which took some finding.
Around 30 Goldfinch were on the Alders along with at least 2 mobile Siskin but unable to locate the Redpoll although I did,nt go all the way round the water.
Otherwise it was just the usual Robins, Wrens , Tits etc.
