Fly Flatts Fogged off, 1st reserve, Ogden

Teal through the mist

Grey Wagtail

Since I started this seasons visible migration at the end of August all but 2 Sunday mornings have been fogged off, this morning being another one.
Back down at Ogden in the mist 3 Teal were present but very mobile along with 4 Cormorant on the water and around 40 small gulls.
The Chaffinch flock was up to around 40 but again mobile around the outskirts of the water but no sign of the Goldcrests.
Several tits around including Long Tailed whilst a Green Woodpecker was calling and 2 Nuthatch were around the feeders.
By 0900 hrs Redwing were coming over >NE with a total count of 86 high up in the mist whilst HC at Oxenhope sounded to be getting considerably more.
