Soil Hill and Ogden

A good day out.

Soil Hill

11:00 Bright and Sunny.

Snipe flushed from the north end of the footpath – it flew a long way North before disappearing.

8 Goldfinch

Linnet

2 Magpie

10 Meadow Pipit

3 Skylark

Woodpigeon

4 Carrion Crow

Ned Hill Track & Coal Lane

Blue Tit, Wren and what I thought was a Willow Warbler but so late on in the season I guess it must have been a Chiffchaff.

Robin & a possible Snipe > NE calling.

Pied Wagtail.

Plantation Track to Ogden.

Pheasant M, Chaffinch, Jay, Wren

Ogden 12:00

The bird feeders were full but bereft of birds.

2 LBBG on the podium.

Usual BHG and a few Common Gull

Jay

2 Adult GCG and 1 juv. GCG

A Little Grebe was diving for food and having its booty nicked by 3 BHG.

7 Robin

Goldfinch bathing

Great Tit, Blue tit, Coal Tit, 4 LTT

Chaffinch and a Chiffchaff briefly singing.

Goldcrest.

Nuthatch

Tufted Duck.

Also two other birders doing the circuit, that I said a quick hello to, but afterwards wished I’d had a bit of a natter with.

Today's post a bit junk mailish

The Ogden depth indicators - not in use

Lots of juicy mud but no takers

GCG but very low in the water?

  

Soil Hill in good fettle.

Not sure what this bird song is
