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.

The Gas man cometh, Grounded.

 A non birding morning today due to gas boiler and fire servicing but not the best of mornings weather wise with a cold moderate SW>5 at 10 degrees and showers.
   The best I could muster this morning whilst dog walking over Foxhill was Common gulls up to 34 in Foxhill park along with 8 Black Headed and a few Mipits overhead <S.
   Birds I'll be expecting and watching for at Ogden this month are the first of the winter visitors with
 Fieldfare, Redwing, Siskin, Redpoll, Crossbill and Brambling, whilst Teal numbers should be on the rise on the water and joined by Shoveler, Wigeon, Pintail and Whooper Swan.
   On the gull scene I'll be living in hopes for Caspian, Mediterranean and more Yellow Legged Herrings.
        A bright, dry day for tomorrow with plenty sunshine on a light westerly starting off at 9 degrees.
