Overnight snow and freezing fog on the tops put paid to upland birding this morning so a trip to Ogden where it was bright and clear on a cold NE>2 at minus 1 degree.
A good show of gulls on the water with around 100 small gulls, 8 Herring and 2 LBBs along with
2 Canadas and the usual Mallards.
The west bank was reasonably quiet with all the trees snow covered and frozen although a nice group of 7 Bullfinch were feeding in the Alders. Otherwise the usual expected woodland species with Robin, Blackbird, Dunnock, Wren and Gt Spotted Woodpecker with no sign of the Tit flock, although I did,nt do a full circuit.
A single Dipper and the usual Kingfisher were down in the sluice gate area whilst a Raven cronked overhead.
Supposedly dry and sunny tomorrow at minus 2 degrees first thing on a light northerly although the frozen snow will still be on the top roads and track to Fly Flatts.
