Spring was nice at Fly Flatts yesterday while it lasted but today it was back to thick fog and heavy drizzle so a drop down to Ogden where the morning was pleasant until 1 hour into the watch when the wind increased W>5 and the drizzle piled in.
The water held 2 Herring gulls and a pair of Goosander, the latter soon moving off towards Mixenden. Otherwise it was down to small gulls and Mallards with 5 Canada geese present.
The Alders were quiet with just Great and Blue Tits and several mobile Goldcrests with no sign of the Goldfinch/ Redpoll flock.
A Great Spotted Woodpecker appeared briefly in the lodge house trees but disappeared just as quick.
