After yesterday's outing on Soil Hill, I though I'd give it another go but via the contour path that goes WNW from Percy Road corner to pass above the quarry. I went over the apex path then home via Ned Hill Track and Taylor Lane.
A humid outing but there was a refreshing breeze on the west side , where I bumped into DJB home after his travels.
Birds:-
Soil Hill etc.
Pretty dead compared to yesterday.
I flushed a Skylark just after I entered the fields on Percy Rd corner.
