A gale was in full swing from the W not the forecast moderate wind at Cold Edge. The birding was abysmal so I tried rescuing the session by heading down to Ogden Water.
Cold Edge birds: A few Swallows, 1 Pied Wagtail, handful of Goldfinch, c12 Meadow Pipits.
I heard a couple of weak wader type calls at distance so will let that one slide.
A Stonechat was alarm calling from a wall by the old Withens Pub.
The YLG previously seen by BS was in the middle of the water at Ogden hence these poor quality photos. Apart from the LBBGs & BHGs a sub adult phase Common Gull was present.
3 drake Tufted Duck still there. The trees coughed up a Blackcap a Nuthatch & 2 Chiffchaff.
