Woke up this morning to a light covering of snow and thick fog so down to Ogden where it was clear of any snow and fog but a low cloud base and very dark and hazy with light drizzle on a SE>2 at 0 degrees.
Nothing on the water other than the usual Mallard and very few gulls with just 16 Black Headed,
3 Common and 1 Herring, whilst the west bank produced 1 small Tit flock with Blue ,Great and Coal Tit as well as 2 Treecreepers, a Goldcrest and a Nuthatch, with a second Nuthatch on the feeders.
A male Bullfinch was on the east bank but otherwise just the normal species.
WIBSEY PARK
An early afternoon combined dog walk and check the water at Wibsey Park found it busy with birds on the lake. The Mute Swan family that disappeared from Low Moor Dams were present with 11, as well as an amazing count of 45 Tufted, though the drake Shoveler that has over-wintered at this site for the past few years has failed to appear this winter. Plenty of the usual Mallard, Canada, Greylag, Coot and Moorhen along with a single female Goosander.
The trees held 2 Redwing and a large count of Wood Pigeon and Collared Dove along with the expected park species.
Tomorrow looks similar to today with light rain, mist and fog at 3 degrees.
