A final trot to Soil Hill.
After a good dose of the ‘Frozen’ CD in the car with
Abigail’s soprano singing in the background
it was time for Frozen the real thing – a visit to Soil Hill with a very faint
hope of Snow Bunting.
I’ve been a bit lax over the last few days, re: the birdseed, with Christmas, Snow and stuff so I put some down this
morning.
11:30 Soil
Hill was as picturesque as ever and apart from a solitary Carrion Crow, crowing
‘thanks for the birdseed’, was bereft of any bird life whatsoever.
A few small birds were on the feeders on the way up
there and a Kestrel landed on a far off telegraph pole.
A Blackbird near the top of Taylor Lane and 21 Starling feeding in a field off Perseverance Road was all I could come up
with!
Raggalds Flood, seen from Perseverance Road, looked
frozen rock hard.
2015 tomorrow so I may start a birding list next
year.
A Happy New Year to birders and non-birders alike,
who happen upon this website, most probably by mistake, and read this drivel!
