Soil Hill

9:10  - 10.00

Very cold NW wind blowing on the top. 

Showers later with a drop of white stuff in amongst.

I just had one hour to spare this morning. Which is just enough time for a quick hike up to Soil Hill and back.

On the way Green Woodpecker was calling. One to the north and one to the south of the village. 

I did not get a glimpse though.

Also 2 flirting Dunnock, Blackbird, Blue Tit.

9 Fieldfare were on Taylor lane fields with usual crow types knocking about.

On the top there was a pair of Skylark. 

They took to the air singing ,managing about 20 feet , before the cold wind and rain seem to bring them back to earth. 

Also on the top was a solitary Meadow Pipit.

It’s Granddaughter day today & tomorrow so it’s Iggle Piggle, Tomliboos and Pontipines for me!
