Bradshaw - Soil Hill - Bradshaw

13:15 - 16:20

A thick mist hung around this morning finally shifting just after 1 p.m. when the sun came along.

The mist started to drift back in again this afternoon and the temperature dropped like a stone (or 6.35kg).

I went along the fields, through the farms up Ned Hill Road, up Soil Hill and down the north slope to the bottom tree line.

I hung around here for 30 minutes or so - the only unusual bird was one that was very, very high above the pylons, that seemed to go no where - but I could not get it in the camera viewfinder before I lost it - the bird not the viewfinder.

Home was via a cold Percy Road and Taylor Lane as the mist made a comeback.
