Ogden

This morning;
Back Lane - movement
c50 Meadow Pipits
2 Skylarks
c40 Swallows
c30 Goldfinch
3 LBBG >S
1 Stock Dove
c35 Woodpigeons
1 Gt Spotted Woodpecker

Ogden Res'r and plantation
1 large mixed flock of Blue/Great/Coal and L T Tits along with 2 Treecreepers, c20 Chaffinch, 2 Goldcrests (one singing), c15 Willow Warblers and 1 Chiff-chaff singing

On the res'r the female Goosander is still in trouble with plastic or something stuck in its bill (possible fishermans line and float?) and probably unable to feed. Not sure whether it was the RSPCA who turned up with nets etc across lunch time to try and rescue it?
