Soil Hill Circular:
A chilly wind early on as I went through Crabtree Hall Farm, up Ned Hill Lane and along Soil Hill main track before returning to Percy Road and going down Taylor Lane.
Just a cursory look along Soil Hill Main Track but as I was resting on a wall at the top of the Quarry a Weasel came to check me out!!
Birds:-
Little Owl - must be getting used to me now - it did not fly as I passed by about 20ft from it!
Swallow, Blackcap, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff.
A Possible Whitethroat by Crabtree Hall Farm gave a very short song before flying off.
No photo or sighting so one that got away.
Linnet, Meadow Pipit, Skylark, Stock Dove.
2 Partridge species flushed 'early' , no call, on fairly silent wings. The birds looked on the small side.
Probably Grey Partridge.
Heron.
Shibden Park:
We all enjoyed some time down Shibden Park this afternoon, where it was very busy.
Ice Cream, Slush, Train Ride, Football and "Small Stick, in the stream ,race" for me today.
I don't know what the ladies did.
A very, very quick look from near the Cunnery Woods gate brought me a singing Blackcap.
Garden and Local:
A shortish look about in the garden while reading was quite pleasant while I sat out of the bitter NE wind and in the sun.
A Sparrowhawk nearly took part of me nose off ,as I was sat on the bench - mind you I've plenty of nose to go at, and my hooter could well do with a small nose job.
A Green Woodpecker called from nearby.
Local Fields:
A quick scan for Ringo, up the local fields, failed miserably - probably missing the Ringo migration time window by now.
2 Red Legged Partridge 'legged it' up the path in front of me.
2 Herring Gulls and 3 Lesser Black-backed Gull.
c30 Starling and a few Meadow Pipit was about it.
