An evening dog walk around Ogden in birder but not bird friendly weather with warm sunshine , blue skies and a slight WNW >3.
The water just held the usual 2 Gt Crested Grebes along with 8 Canadas and a few Mallard as well as , surprisingly, the 2 Mallard chicks still evading the Crows.
A circuit of the water produced a few Willow Warblers plus the resident Robins, Dunnocks and Wrens. I think Blackcap and Gt Spotted Woodpecker have become extinct from here with no sightings of either last year or this for me although I never get up into the woods.
Empty skies tonight with this spell of weather stopping the movement of gulls.
