A dark wet Ogden.

 

                                    Siskins in the dark




                                    3 Bullfinch present.




A very dark and wet morning at Ogden but not as bad as I expected, going by the forecast, with light rain throughout and very dark full cloud cover on a light SW>2 at 7 degrees. The weather deteriorated by 1000 hrs with heavier rain and mist rolling in, Thick fog back at Queensbury.
    Around 12 Siskin were present in the same Alder as yesterday though very hard to pick out in the darkness and still no Redpolls in with them whilst 2 female and 1 male Bullfinch were in a slightly lighter area.
    The Kingfisher was moving up and down the west bank whilst the Dipper was down in the sluice gate area along with 25 Woodpigeon down the steep grass banking.
   The water held the usual female Goosander as well as 2 Herring, 1 LBB and a handful of small gulls.
Showing tomorrow as dry with cloudy sunshine at a cooler 4 degrees on a light NW.
