Wind Rain and Misery

I picked a great day to trial my new camera; the wind that drove the water was a classic SW'ly to begin with, known for it's bird quenching prowess.

Plenty of small gulls on Soil Hill, mainly BHG but that was it.

Woodland types at Ogden were keeping a very low profile how I managed 2 WW I'll never know.

Not many gulls around, 3 LBBG, 2 Common & c10 BHG.

2 Cormorant and the established GC Grebes. 1 each GSW, Jay & Kestrel. A humdinger of a downpour brought around 17 Swallow out at Hunter Hill bottom.

Mixenden Res was a wet putrescence: 1 Canada & 1 Tufted Duck.
