Ogden/Ovenden Moor

We did some BTO Atlas survey work today Ovenden Moor -The Withens/windfarm and the golf course - managed just 11 species of birds in 2 hrs - hard work !

Outside the survey area Ogden still has the Great Crested Grebe along with 7 Canada Geese, 220 B H Gulls, 35 Common Gulls.

Away from the res'r a Tawny Owl was singing at 14.30 in the woods leading to Skirden Clough. Also 1 female Sparrowhawk over and a Jay.

In Ogden Lane just off Keighley Road there were 44 Goldfinch.
