A cool, warm, cold sort of day depending upon the sun and the breeze.
I had a walk up to and over soil hill after lunch today keeping to the main paths.
It was nice and pleasant on the east side but Ned Hill track side was very windy and cool.
Bird of the day was Raven - with three separate sightings.
One distant Raven was constantly mobbing a Buzzard.
Bradshaw fields after tea didn't cough up much.
