8 Siskin present
Single Goldcrest
A very breezy damp morning at Ogden with a SW>5 bringing drizzle and full cloud at 6 degrees.
Another late start waiting for something like daylight which doesn't show until around 0830 hrs and even after that it was very dark in the trees making it impossible to get any decent images.
Despite the late start I achieved one of my targets by pinning down a small flock of 8 Siskin which were nearly missed in the dense trees and poor light but unfortunately still no sign of Redpoll. After a lot of standing and waiting I managed a few shots as the Siskin moved around busily feeding. A single Goldcrest was in the same area but little else other than 2 Bullfinch.
The water held around 30 small gulls along with 2 Herring and one Lesser Black Backed.
Tomorrows forecast is looking grim with a day of heavy rain and a strong sou'wester at 7 degrees.
