A bit livelier Ogden


 
                                    1st winter Grey Wagtail


                                    Several Treecreepers
                                    2 Tufted present

Another dark morning at Ogden with full cloud on a light NE>2 at 3 degrees.
      The west bank waterside trees were much more active this morning with a feeding party of several Treecreepers, Goldcrests, Blue and Coal Tits along with at least 3 Siskin but all constantly moving and way too dark for photos anything like.
   The water held 2 Tufted duck along with the usual Mallards and around 30 small gulls whilst a Little Grebe kept showing briefly across in the far NE corner.
   A Raven, 2 Kestrel and a Sparrowhawk gave brief views, whilst this years breeding pair of Grey Wagtail were down in the sluice gate and their 1st winter offspring was in the overflow.
    A cloudy morning tomorrow on a light northerly at 1 degree with possibly a brighter afternoon.
