Below the fog, Ogden.

 

                                    A misty start, fog on the tops

                                    Clearing by 0830 hrs
                                1000s of  Weevil type creatures along the promenade
                                    1 pair of Tufted.


                                    Arrival of Willow Warblers.


                                    Very few big gulls
                                    Single Greylag.

With dense fog on the tops, as per forecast, it was down to Ogden which was slightly misty but soon cleared to leave full cloud on a light SW>2 at 7 degrees.
 The waterside trees were buzzing with Willow Warblers and Chiffchaffs along with a single Siskin, several Chaffinch and Goldfinch as well as Song and Mistle Thrush.
    The water held 2 Canada and a single Greylag goose along with a pair of Tufted duck and the usual Mallards. The strangest thing of the morning was a Little Owl calling from the plantation half way along the east bank. A species that I have never had low down at Ogden before without going up onto the edge of the moor.
   Gull wise, just  3 LBB and 2 Herring on the water. A Raven flew over the plantation.
Looking dry for tomorrow with cloud and some sunshine on a light W turning SW starting off at 3 degrees.
