Rain, Sleet, Snow and Mist. Ogden.

 

   OGDEN               Blizzard conditions, Heavy snow showers.





                                Enjoying the Foxhill Common gulls.









An atrocious morning at Ogden with very dark misty skies and a mix of  rain, sleet and snow on a light SW>2 at 1 degrees after overnight freezing.
   Needless to say, the birding was extremely poor with just the Bullfinch flock in the Alders as well as 2 Goldcrest in the waterside trees, plus Blue and Coal Tits on the feeders.
    The water just held a single Cormorant, 12 Black Headed, 3 Common and 2 Herring gull as well as the usual Mallards. A Raven was cronking in the tree canopy but keeping out of sight.
   A wet afternoon dog walk over Foxhill gave me the opportunity to snap a few of the 18 Common gulls stomping for worms on the football pitch.
   Looking dry for tomorrow on a moderate NW starting off at minus 1 degree.
