Soil Hill etc - A bit of a better outing

 This morning's outing was the usual Soil Hill pilgrimage.

Frequent drizzle blown along by a stiff breeze made walking along the west side of Soil Hill unpleasant, but, other than that not too bad.

A couple of this year firsts for me today with a Skylark flushed from the West Side of Soil Hill. 

After lunch a garden watch was helped by a very loud call from a Green Woodpecker from the trees opposite our house - not seen.
