Bradshaw and Soil Hill

12:30 - 15:30

The sun shone all day today and I used some of it's solar power to 'dry me smalls' on the washing line this morning.

After my gruel and half beaker of water for lunch I walked along the Bradshaw Fields, through the farms, up Ned Hill Road, over Soil Hill summit.

I returned the same way as I came - walking backwards obviously.

I was garbed in "Heat Wear" hoping for an 'anagram' of same - but even  lots of looking failed to find any anagrams.

Wren. Pheasant. 5 Skylark.

Starling. 2 Curlew. c7 Meadow Pipit (not as flighty as sometimes).

4 Lesser Black-backed Gull. 

A Partridge that flushed early and flew quite silently from Soil Hill summit was prpbably a Grey Partridge but I did not get enough on it.

2 Red Legged Partridge ran along Ned Hill Track.

2 Mallard. Moorhen. 

Large birds on Mixenden ,miles off in the shimmer,seen from Soil Hill top were probably Canada Geese.

and no doubt a few that I've not written in me little note boooook.
