Going through a bad patch, Ogden

 

                                    Fog rolling in

                                    As good as it got
                                    Clear along the west bank
                                    Water pouring in
                                        Parakeet pond

The fog was a bit less dense at home this morning so headed off to Ogden. Here the fog was still fairly dense but soon came in thicker giving visibility only a quarter of the way across the water. Fog didn't affected the walk around the track and was pleasantly mild at 5 degrees on a very light SE>1. After heavy overnight rain water is gushing down the overflow.
     Several small passerines moving about in the waterside trees but only the usual Blue and Great Tits, Robins, Dunnocks and Blackbirds as well as 2 Treecreepers.
    As much as I could make out on the water was 4 Black Headed and a single Herring gull plus the usual Mallards.
    A slightly stronger SE wind forecast for morning will hopefully clear the fog. Possible light rain showers with some cloudy sunshine at 6 degrees. Tuesday is showing as the best day of the week before the fog returns later in the week.
