Oats Royd to Ogden

Apart from a very decent start today's session was a let down in the main especially at Ogden where the Scuzzers Bros and family were performing wildly at the waters edge.

I got 4 bursts of the male Yellowhammer song in the favoured area of OR but no visual. WW, Blackcap, Chiffchaff & a Bullfinch were also present as was a distant DP who reports a Fox.


If  only I had hung on a further 10 minutes I would have seen the star bird as DW arrived and took this photograph!

A drake Tufted Duck & a single LBBG.were at Ogden otherwise it was Dullards Dogs & Homo Sapiens including a few decent ones.
The Spotted Flycatcher breeding pr are still making progress. c13 Swift and a few Swallow were seen plus the usual common migrant singers.
