Ogden to Scuzzenden Res


Ogden Res was on the quiet side so no big surprises there. 4 Tufted Duck & 2 LBBG on the drink, a single BHG > SW.
1 each Blackcap & Whitethroat. A pr Siskin hanging around the Lodge House. Two male Blackbird in not quite mortal combat.



1 Song Thrush, 2 Chiffchaff, 6/7 WW.


Golf course and Stod Fold: pr MistleThrush, 4 Curlew, 8/9 Swallow, 3 Reed Bunting. Few Linnet ditto Meadow Pipit & 2 WW.

Did I say Ogden was quiet? Shame on me; it was like the gates of Hell had reopened on a Saturday night, post Covid, compared to it's Mixenden counter part. 
Only birds on the drink were a pr Moorhen that have abandoned their former nest site and now have made a safer choice.
Also 2 WW & a Chiffchaff.

The local Scumsuckers have made their presence felt. Within a day, or two at most, they have dismantled a section of one of the newly rebuilt walls

Elsewhere 1 Barn Owl.
