Another good session at Ogden.

 

                                    5 Tufted still present

                                    Several Treecreepers
                                    Around 20 Redpoll









A bright sunny morning at Ogden in a bitter cold NW>4 at minus 3 degrees. Some frozen water at the far north end with a few Black Headed gulls stood on it.
     The 5 Tufted were still on the water but sticking to the north end whilst around 100 small gulls and 5 Herring were riding the choppy waves.
   A Dipper and Kingfisher were down in the sluice gate along with 2 Grey Wagtails.
The waterside trees were very active with Goldcrest, Treecreeper and Tits but the highlight being the flock of Redpoll are now up to around 20 birds but no Mealy or Goldpoll. 
    Another bright sunny day for tomorrow with a light NW starting off at minus 4 degrees.
