A misty wet Ogden

 

                                   5 minute sunrise over t'mill

                                Black Dyke chimney in sun and cloud.
                                    1 of 5 Tufted

                                    8 Teal present, female
                                        male



A real manky morning with the sunrise lasting 5 minutes before being blanked out in fog. Ogden was misty and drizzle throughout on a light W>2 at 10 degrees. The skies cleared by 0945hrs, just in time for knocking off time.
     No sign of the 3 Wigeon from yesterday with just 8 Teal showing along with 5 Tufted and the usual Mallards although I only did the east bank this morning.
   Another good count of around 150 small gulls on the water as well as 3 Herring and 4 LBB. Just 6 Chaffinch in 'passerine alley' along with the usual common species. The last sighting of the morning, as I was at the car tackling up, was a large flock of around 100 Woodpigs very high and >SW.
   A cloudy morning tomorrow on a light SW>3 at 7 degrees, deteriorating to chance of rain after midday.
