Getting a liking for Ogden.

 

                                    Mallard and Teal

                                    2 Wigeon present
                                            Teal





                                           Wigeon

                                    Several Blackbirds on berries.

A real mish mash of weather this morning at Ogden with sunshine and showers, one minute sunny the next, heavy drizzle on a moderate and cold W>4 at  6 degrees. Visibility was good.
     Once again the Teal count was up, now reaching at least 38, both on the water and around the weed beds on the shore. The 2 Wigeon were still present along with the 6 Tufted and a single Goosander, whilst 12 Black Headed, 2 LBB and 4 Herring were present. The long staying Red Lagged Partridge was still in the waterside weeds.
    Very little in the waterside trees other than several Blackbirds taking the berries but no sign of the Chaffinch flock and I,ve yet to see my first autumn Redwing and Fieldfare.
    A big move of Woodpigs >S this morning between 0700-0830 hrs.
Forecasting strong NW winds tomorrow at 4 degrees but bright and sunny.
