Another dabble at Ogden in the wind.

                                        Single female Goosander
                              
                                        Kestrel on watch





A very windy morning with a SW>5 gusting 6 but milder at 6 degrees with 60% cloud and some sunshine, clouding by 0930hrs bringing light rain.
   Too windy for the tops this morning but pushing my luck for a second good session at Ogden.
Much quieter along the west bank with the wind rattling through the trees so most of the small passerine action was at the feeders.
    No Treecreepers or Goldcrest this morning and the water back to the single Goosander and  Cormorant, whilst a Heron was by the north shore.
   Very few gulls with Black Headed and Common plus 2 Herring. A single Raven was in the plantation and a Dipper and Kingfisher were down in the sluice gate area.
    Looking better for tomorrow with a light WSW with some cloud and sunshine starting off at 2 degrees.
