Ogden Water


Ogden Water - just about frozen over this morning except for one or two areas where the Great Crested Grebe was still catching fish. The last time I saw the water frozen over like this a Slavonian Grebe turned up!
Highlight - other than the scenery was 2 sightings of single (greenish) Crossbills. Both seen from the path around the edge of the res'r.
One flew up Skirden Clough from the west side and the other was over the east side, flew out from the pines and part way across the res'r turned back towards the pines. There maybe others about?
Also Great Spotted Woodpecker drumming in the east wood.

Sue and I walked round in the afternoon with two grandchildren. Missed the crossbills but did see a grey wagtail on the waters edge.
