Glutton for punishment, Ogden

                                    As good as it got, few gulls
 
                                    Several Black Headed





                                    Single Herring.






Another pleasant morning at Ogden with fog on the tops. Full cloud on a light S>2 at 2 degrees.
      No improvement this morning with no disturbance but no birds along the west and north waterside trees other than a Treecreeper, a Robin and a Blackbird.
    The water held around 30 Black Headed, 3 Common and a single Herring gull as well as an unusually low count of  Mallard.
    This has got to be the worst winter on record so far at this site along with several other sites. Its said that mild weather around Scandinavia etc is holding birds there without the need to move south?
  A poor forecast for tomorrow and the next 4 days with a light wind from the SE bringing some light rain and fog at 5 degrees.
