No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Foggy Oggy.

 

                                    Very few gulls present




                                    1cy LBB with broken wing.

                            Bird rescue centres not interested due to risk of spreading
                               bird flu if they take them back to the centre.

As forecast, dense fog on the tops so a visit to Ogden which just had visibility 3 parts across the water but very dark with light drizzle on a light SE>2.                                                                                                                                A check on the gull situation with hopes of the Caspian being there but very few gulls which is the norm for a morning visit with most gulls showing p.m. pre roost. No Herrings and just 8 LBB along with around 30 Black Headed and 9 Common.
     A walk around the waterside trees proved more successful with 4 Siskin, 2 Redpoll and 2 Goldcrest
along with the usual Tits etc. 
    Another of the same tomorrow with a light SE and a ton of fog with some rain thrown in for good measure. Inland east winds ought to be banned.
