Wintery scenes at Ogden
Passerine Alley
Lower count of gulls this morning.
1 of 4 Herring gull
Another beautiful morning to be walking around Ogden with full sun and blue skies on a cold NW>2 at 1 degree.
A livelier morning at Ogden in the trees but again all on the east side with the west bank Alders still void of Siskin and Redpoll which have not been present for over a week now.
Best of the morning was a flock of 6 Bullfinch which flew from the Willows across into the plantation whilst 12 Chaffinch were on the banking weeds. Otherwise it was down to the usual Tits, Wrens and Dunnocks with an unusually high count of Robins and Blackbirds.
Gulls were on a low with around 50 small, 4 Herring and a single LBB, most of which left the water >S without going onto the banking. The Kingfisher was down in the sluice gate.
A bright sunny morning promised for tomorrow morning after some overnight snow on a cold WNW.
