Another cracking sunny, crisp day today.
I decided to give Soil Hill another go for a "scarce Bunting"
It was good to bump into DJS (who had been up here a while) along the mast track.
We enjoyed a chat as we scanned about.... hoping.
After Dave had left I did a circuit of the summit "tundra" before dropping down to Ned Hill Track and through the ruins and farms to home.
After lunch I had another walk along the track to Ned Hill Road and back.
Birds:-
Soil Hill Area:
No rare/scarce Buntings today, but one day there will be!
Usual Gulls floating about.
3 Wren, 1 Kestrel, 1 Meadow Pipit.
2 Rook and a Green Woodpecker (heard) (Taylor Lane).
1 Kestrel bottom of Ned Hill Road.

4 Stock Dove.
