Ogden reservoir.

 

                                    A bright and sunny Ogden.



                                    NW inlet
                                    4m 2f Tufted present.


                                    Usual Black Headed gulls.


With heavy overnight freezing and still minus 1 this morning the track at Fly Flatts would be unpassable so settled for Ogden. A brilliant morning weather wise with full clear blue sky and sunshine on a cold NW>3 at minus 1 degree.
    A bit of life on the water today with 4 male and 2 female Tufted duck as well as 2 Canada geese, 2 Herring gull, 2 Common gull and around 20 Black Headed, along with the usual Mallards.
   A Gt Spotted Woodpecker flew high over the water as well as a Raven and several Woodpigeons but the waterside trees remained very quiet the full circuit with just the usual common woodland species.
  Back to a moderate easterly tomorrow with a cloudy day starting at minus 1 and a good chance of  fog.
