A look at Ogden below the fog.

 

                                    Juvenile Heron





                                        Adult Heron
                                        1of 3 LBB gulls
                                    Impression of a butterfly !
                                    Single drake Tufted going into moult.

                                    8 Canadas present.
                                several juv Blue Tits on feeders.

As expected this morning, dense fog on the tops, with Ogden slightly hazy but good visibility, with full cloud and dead calm at 10 degrees.
    A juv Heron was in the SW corner whilst an adult was on the shore at the NE end. Just 8 Canada geese and a single drake Tufted duck on and by the water but, despite ample exposed shore, not a single Common Sandpiper or Oystercatcher to be found.
    A full circuit of the water provided lots of  Blackcap, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff and Song Thrush song but finding them was another story.
    Back to a good chance of rain and poor visibility in the morning on a moderate SW at 12 degrees, improving after midday.
