Well you can't say I don' try. Ogden.

 

                                Plenty Blackbirds but all British.

                                    Usual Nuthatch at the feeders

                                    2 Dippers again in the sluice gate

                                        along with a Kingfisher.

A pleasant morning at Ogden with full cloud but milder at 4 degrees on a light NE>2.
    Plenty Robins and Blackbirds along the west bank trees as well as a small Tit flock of Blue, Great and Coal and a single Siskin.
   The water held around 40 small gulls along with4 Herring whilst a steardy flow of Herring gull were overhead moving >NE, probably from a Manchester overnight roost.
    Two Dippers were again down in the sluice gate area as well as a Kingfisher and 2 Grey Wagtail, the latter probably being the pair that bred at this site last year.
     The forthcoming disturbance is now looming at Ogden with Christmas trees already starting to build up opposite the info centre ready to be moved and positioned around the bankings.
    Another  cloudy day tomorrow with a light NE at 32 degrees.
