No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Ogden Reservoir.

 







A full cloud morning but clear skies on a cool SW>3 at 7 degrees.
   A big move >SW of Redwing, Woodpigs and Jackdaws over the west plantation but dying down after 0830 hrs with just Woodpigs trickling through after that.
     No sign of  Teal today but the 4 Tufted duck from yesterday still present and a new Goosander arrival which I would say is a male in October eclipse.
   Around 150 gulls present, which considerately flushed from the west bank to the east bank where I was stood, so a good chance to scour through them. Several Chaffinch were moving over the west plantation in no certain direction whilst a single cronking Raven flew overhead. No check of the west bank Alders today.
    A dry bright morning given for tomorrow on a light W turning NW at 6 degrees then clouding after midday with a chance of showers.
