Soil Hill & Raggalds Flood.

First time out for a day or three for one reason or another.

Flying visit to Soil Hill on a beautiful sunny day. Weather unusually warm for Soil Hill in November.

Not much stirring.

Soil Hill. 13:40

A cry from 2 Carrion Crow near the mast – maybe they know dinner’s on the way.

Kestrel, 13 Meadow Pipit, 2 Camera shy Wren. Lapwing feeding in the fields nearby.

Pheasant out in the open below the north slope.

Approaching the north end of the stony track a strange bird type call? A one-off whistle heard. Sounded like a dog whistle. Didn’t see the dog. Didn’t see the dog’s owner. Didn’t see the whistle come to think of it.

A text from B.S. at 16:15 reporting a Snow Bunting on S.H. had me make a return dash up there. However the light was nearly non-existent by the time I got there so the odds on me spotting it were close to zero (they would be close to zero in bright sunlight) however I had a quick look from the track but with nothing moving I soon zoomed back home.

It’s just possible my photo of the 7 Mipits up there today is actually 6 Mipits & a Snow Bunt!

On Perseverance , on the way to RF, an Owl was calling. Most prob. the little owl that resides near there.

Raggalds Flood.

Wasted journey really. Water still present with just a solitary Wren seen nearby.

On the way home Starlings sitting in the sun on the pylon wires.

A few birds in the tree opposite our house, looked like Starling from a distance but didn’t look like Starling when they flew off?

Awesome Chaffinch

These birds looked a bit Starling like?

But they don't resemble Starling in flight?

I think they may be Goldfinch?

Sorry the pics are so poor
