Dense fog on the tops this morning but Ogden was hazy then clearing to a spring like morning with clear skies and sunshine on a very light NNE>1 at 6 degrees.
The water at Ogden was void of wildfowl other than the Mallards, as far as I could see, along with 2 Cormorant whilst around 150 gulls were on the west bank but none on the nearer east bank. The gulls were very hard to sort through with the low sun lighting them up so it was a matter of checking them each time a cloud blanked the sun out.
The adult leg ringed Mediterranean gull, which was ringed in Sweden, sighted yesterday by JJL, was present but spent most of the time sleeping, which I suppose you would if you'd just flown from Sweden. Most of the Black Headed gulls I've seen with rings at Ogden were ringed in Sweden or Norway.
Plenty Chaffinch around but very flighty with the usual disturbance whilst a good sized tit flock was in the same area along with 4 Bullfinch and at least 3 Siskin plus Blackbirds and a Jay. By the time I'd finished along the west bank it was knocking off time so never got along the east bank.
A mix of cloud and sunshine tomorrow starting at 4 degrees but still the dreaded fog fetching light E turning NE.
