Fog and rain, Ogden.

 

                                A dark and wet Ogden




                                    
                                   A pair of Wigeon present

                                        Female.
                                    1 of 5 Tufted duck


                                    1 of 4 Teal

                                    2 Cormorant present

A rear horror morning at Ogden with thick fog and heavy drizzle for kick off but luckily the drizzle turned to rain which cleared the fog for around 1 hour before the drizzle and fog reappeared. A light NE>2 at a mild 7 degrees.
   Yesterdays male Wigeon was still present and joined by a female but difficult to get onto in the conditions, the male sticking to the west bank. A single Heron was on the east bank as well as 2 Cormorant whilst 4 Teal and 5 Tufted were moving around the water.
    Very few gulls present and needless to say, nothing in the murky skies overhead.
A grim forecast for tomorrow showing heavy rain from start to finish on a light easterly at 6 degrees and probable fog and mist.
