One of those quiet ones. Ogden

 A nice morning at Ogden with part cloud and sunshine on a light SW>2 at 3 degrees. The ice has now melted from the reservoir.
    No excuse for the west bank being disturbed this morning with CS sorting the Christmas trees on the east bank but the west and north bank were unbelievably quiet with sightings of a single Robin, Raven and Gt Spotted Woodpecker along with a couple of Blue Tits. The Kingfisher was on its usual perch down in the sluice gate.
      The water just held 8 Common and 10 Black Headed gull along with the usual Mallards. A few small gulls were overhead >NE but otherwise nothing.
   A similar day tomorrow with cloudy sunshine on a light southerly wind at 3 degrees. Late tomorrow the wind turns back into the dreaded east and south east bringing fog over the weekend and beyond.
