A pleasant morning at Ogden with dead calm and full cloud at an icy minus 2 degrees. Plenty fog down in the Aire valley bottom.
Not as many gulls present this morning with around 50 small gulls, the majority being Commons, along with just 2 Herring and no LBBs. As I was walking through Passerine Alley the adult Med gull flew low over the water towards the duck corner but was lost from sight by the Willows.
A thorough check through the gulls on the east bank and water failed to produce the Med gull so I can only presume that it must have continued on over the promenade towards Mixenden but good to see that its still in the area.
The west bank alders once again remained empty with any activity taking place along the east bank waterside trees with several Long Tailed Tits, Chaffinch and Goldcrest, as well as a pair of Bullfinch.
The Kingfisher is back at its usual winter venue, down in the sluice gate area.
A clear sunny morning tomorrow on a cold NNW at 1 degree depending on what happens with the overnight snow forecast.
