Fogged off a.m./ Ogden p.m.

 

                                  A good supply of Chaffinch
                                    Bramblings due anytime !






                                          Drizzle on its way
                                Kingfisher in its usual spot

                                Pied Wagtail in the duck corner 


Torrential rain and dense fog stopped play this morning but a brighter mid afternoon at Ogden with just an odd drizzle shower.
                                   Only a small Tit flock today and no sign of the Siskin/Redpoll flock so spent most of the time scouring through the Chaffinch flock of around 60+ which were showing better today ground feeding in the banking weeds. No Brambling as yet but must be imminent with a flock this size though searching through them was difficult with constant public disturbance keep flushing them back into the trees.
                  A pair of Teal were still present way over in the NE corner whilst 4 Herring, 1 LBB and around 40 small gulls were on the water. The Kingfisher and a Dipper were down in the sluice gate and a single Pied Wagtail in the duck feeding area.
                 This has got to have been the foggiest wettest November on record.
Chances of a fine but windy morning tomorrow then a wet afternoon.
