Flashing and Banging at Ogden.

 

                                   A dark stormy start to the morning

                                    Brighter to the South
                                Plenty Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff


                                    Heron on watch

                                    Flock of Long Tailed Tits.

After a heavy overnight storm at 0300 hrs it left fog on the tops and distant thunder and lightening with a torrential rain shower as I headed to Ogden, but that was only short lived. The storm moved over by 0830 hrs leaving it dry with a light E>3 at 12 degrees.
     No sight of sound from the Pied Flycatcher this morning with just the usual Willow Warbs and Chiffchaffs along with a good count of Chaffinch and Blackcaps plus the usual common woodland species. Very little use for the camera again as searching through a ton of leaves for a LBJ is not my kind of birding.
     The water held 2 Canada geese and a pair of Tufted duck plus the usual Mallards and Heron, with nothing moving overhead.
   A turn of wind for tomorrow with a moderate SW and cloudy sunshine starting off at 13 degrees reaching18 degrees by mid afternoon. Hopefully a more accurate forecast than yesterdays as the 3 forecasts I checked missed the thunderstorms completely.
