Bradshaw - Soil Hill meander

As January 2022 draws to a close..

Not as windy as last night, but still a breezy do this afternoon, as I set off across the fields to Ned Hill Road, then up Soil Hill main track to follow the east contour path to Percy Rd and down Taylor Lane, home.

I was hoping that last night's gale might have dropped something on to soil hill top like a Lapland Bunting - it probably did - but I didn't see it!

Birds:-

Bradshaw Fields:-

Little Owl.

A 'mixture' of small gulls (mostly Common Gulls) , Starling, Jackdaws, Crows and at least 10 Rook.

1 Mistle Thrush.

2 Red Legged Partridge. 

2 Chaffinch and a few Goldfinch.

The rest of the outing from Ned Hill Road had a few Herring Gulls airborne -  and was good exercise!!

I though I heard a Redshank call from Ogden direction, but it was probably birding fever setting in.

Jackdaws over Harden as we passed through.

Spot the Dog Little Owl.
