Not such a Good Friday, Ogden.

 

                                        A grey damp morning
                                    1 pair Tufted duck

                                    From the west bank
                                    2 Lesser Black Backed gulls present



                                        Singing Song Thrush

                                    1st batch of Mallard ducklings.

A dull morning at Ogden with drizzle throughout on a moderate SW>4 at 6 degrees. A low cloud base with fog on the tops.
    A very quiet morning bird-wise with just 2 LBB gulls on the water as well as a pair of Tufted duck, 3 Canada geese and a single Moorhen, the latter not a common species at this site. The duck feeding corner provided the first batch of 9  Mallard ducklings which will hopefully keep their heads down whilst the Herons and Crows are around. 
    The west bank just held Robins, Blackbirds, Wrens and Dunnocks along with 2 Chaffinch and the usual Tit species whilst 2 Song Thrushes were in full song in the Lodge House trees.
    A cloudy day with rain and drizzle in the morning and more hill fog on a moderate sou'westerly kicking off at 3 degrees. A wind warning for Saturday overnight into early Sunday morning with a SW> 7 near gale at 36 mph and peaking at SW>9 strong gale at 50 mph but that's "nobbut a stiff breeze" for Queensbury.
