A cool start warmed up nicely by mid-day.
Birds:-
Nothing out of the ordinary seen.
4 Goosander, Canada Geese, Moorhen.
Cormorant overhead.
2 Pied Wagtail, Grey Wagtail.
Green Woodpecker calling - not seen.
8 Heron - 3 Nests with Heron present in the trees close to the individual nests.(1/4 mile N of Brearley).
A large Covid over Hebden Bridge looked Raven-like but I think it's a Rook?
and a few other sp.
Soil Hill to home.
15:15 - 16:40
Cooler here but quite pleasant with some clouds knocking about.
A walk along the very muddy Ned Hill Track produced a few Common Gull in the lower fields and not a lot else.
Soil Hill was very quiet (again) and the lower (NK) pond and Shay fields were bereft of birds.
All was not lost though when a Skylark, flushed from the east side, burbled a bit and flew low to disappear into the long grass. A local tick for me.
The Percy Rd. midden held Pr. Grey Wagtail and a Solitary Common Gull was in a nearby field.
It was pleasing to pick out my Taylor Lane Little Owl on the way home (me not the LOWL).
Not a bad day out.

The view from the end of Ned Hill Track
There is a Skylark in here somewhere.
Ah! There it is.
