The usual exercise outing to Soil Hill via Taylor Lane and home via Ned Hill and the farm track / fields.
A much improved afternoon weather wise, and after a sharp shower greeted me on Soil Hill, the rest of the outing was dry with a glimmer of sunshine.
Birds:-
A much improved trek.
Taylor Lane:
Little Owl.
Soil Hill:
Heron on the top pool - looking for early frogs/ frog spawn?
2 Blackbird and a Pheasant in the north side trees.
A possible Skylark, high flying over - "1 trill then a gap then 1 trill".
Ned Hill Road:
A great surprise of a pr. of Green Woodpecker perched together near the chicane.
Farm Track and Fields:
Sparrowhawk mobbed by a Crow.
Wren.
Common Gulls.
Gulls were moving in good numbers throughout the afternoon.
It will be interesting to see if the freezing weather forecast for the coming 7 days will result in Pink Footed Geese moving from the frozen east coast to the 'milder' west.
