Ups and downs of birding. Ogden.

 

                                        Dark clouds over Ogden

                                    A good year for Chiffchaffs

                                    Single drake Tufted
                                    4 Lesser Black Backed gulls present.





A better morning than expected weather wise with full cloud on a cool SW>3 at 12 degrees with some light drizzle showers.
   They say you're only as good as your last blog and I went out on a high yesterday then died a death today with a very quiet Ogden.
   Plenty calls and song from the waterside trees and plantation edge but only the expected species with mainly Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Wren and Robin as well as Song Thrush. Chiffchaff seem to have greatly outnumbered Willow Warblers this year.
    The water just held 2 Canada geese, a drake Tufted and 4 Lesser Black Backed gulls with 2 Heron on the shore.
   A similar forecast for tomorrow with showers and breaks of sunshine on a moderate westerly at 12 degrees.
