Local Birding Walk

The early brightness this morning was soon snuffed out by thick, cold foggy stuff.

I managed my usual local outing after lunch up to Soil Hill and I left the hill  by the eastern path above the quarry.

An enjoyable walk with the fog having lifted.

Birds:-

The usual local struggle in winter I'm afraid.

Probably 30+ Magpie (14 + 5 plus ones and twos)  seen along the fields and through the farms to Ned Hill Road.

1 Meadow Pipit.

1 Wren.

2 Little Owl.

2 Chaffinch.

Pheasant.

Green Woodpecker was seen from Ned Hill Track.

Usual Gull species - but not many.

A Mistle Thrush sang from pylon wires as I had a short cool garden scan later on.
