A mix of hazy sunshine and showers at Ogden with the sun never quite managing to break through A light S>2 at 2 degrees made it feel a little milder but a very dark morning around the waterside track so the camera stayed on my belt.
A little livelier than my last visit but still no winter Tit flock and no sign of Treecreeper, Goldcrest, Siskin and Redpoll. A small group of 6 Gt Tits were at the beginning of the west bank along with a separate group of 2 Coal Tits and 3 Blue Tit.
Whilst I was in the west bank trees I looked up just in time to see a Buzzard disappearing over the plantation whilst a Raven was cronking from the top of a distant pine tree. A Nuthatch was on the feeders surrounded by the usual Tits, Robins, Blackbird, Dunnocks etc whilst a pair of Bullfinch were along the east banking.
The Kingfisher was down in the sluice gate but very few gulls on the water with just 15 Black Headed, 4 Common and 2 Herring gull.
Fog, mist and rain given for tomorrow, typically on a light south easterly.
