Another grey, full cloud morning with a NE>3 at 3 degrees but feeling milder in the light wind.
Plenty bird life present but nothing other than the usual Curlew, Lapwing, Oystercatchers etc whilst the water held Canadas, Greylags, Mallards and 2 pair of Teal.
Again nothing moving skyward whilst gulls were extremely poor with around 50 small gulls and no big gulls to be found. What makes the gulls tick, with some mornings several Herrings and other mornings, in the same weather conditions, nothing?
Mid afternoon and a check on Ogden turned out to be an 'arf baked idea' with just a handful of small gulls on the water, along with a Moorhen, whilst the west bank was bird less, though it did,nt help with a shotgun being blasted very close by, either in the plantation or somewhere above it. This shooting had been going on earlier during NKs visit.
Hopefully something good will turn up tomorrow to end the month on. I think this is the first February on record not to have snow in Queensbury.
