Slogging away at Ogden

2 Herring gull present

Low count of Black Headed gull

A morning of sunshine and showers at Ogden with a cold SW>4 at 6 degrees.

Another case of empty waterside trees this morning other than 2 Treecreepers and a few Blue Tits, whilst a Dipper and Kingfisher were down in the sluice gate area.

The 2 Goosanders from yesterday had left the water with just 2 Herring and 16 Black Headed gulls present plus a rising number of Mallard. Roll on springtime.

Cloudy sunshine for tomorrow on a light SE with a good chance of fog at 3 degrees.
