After my caviar sandwich lunch today I had my usual walk along the local fields, up to and over Soil Hill, back via Percy Rd & Taylor Lane.
Nuisance drizzle for the most part was ok apart from Soil Hill top where it was heavier, but visibility was ok.
A good meander across the bricks and stones, humps and bumps , bits of metal and green "stuff" was interesting.
Birds:-
Little Owl. Bullfinch.
The c30 Gulls in Bradshaw Fields and c20 in Syke Lane were predominately Common Gulls.
Not as many Lesser Black Backed Gulls seen of late.
2 Kestrel. 9 Skylark. c30 Meadow Pipit.
2 Stonechat north of the comms mast.
2 Pied Wagtail. 2 Stock Dove. 5 Pheasant.
Mistle Thrush low-ish > south in ones and two numbered about 10.
Plus another 7 see photo.
C20 Starling.
Good to be out and about today.
Slight improvement from my visit earlier John. I did not brave the north slope ! Hopefully Redwings anytime and then some Fieldfares.
