A cold start this morning warmed up nicely as the walk progressed.
I went over Soil Hill and had a short stand at the bottom of the north slope, venturing no further than the bottom treeline. Very few singers here today.
It was a bit draughty on the summit but not bad at the bottom of the north slope.
Home via Ned Hill Track and the farms and fields.
Birds:-
Dunnock. Skylark. Curlew. Meadow Pipit. Lapwing. Willow Warbler.
Linnets seemed to be happy with the new look summit with lots about.
A Buzzard was very high over the large Ogden wind turbines.
5 very secretive Whitethroat.
2 Mallard. 2 Canada Geese. 1 Moorhen.
Blackbird. A Red Legged Partridge called a couple of times.
Pheasant. 2 Chiffchaff. Bullfinch. Goldfinch.
A Raven was very, very high over Mixenden Reservoir - seen from Ned Hill Track.
A "Long Winged" Raptor very very high that I cannot ID - 1st photo.
Wasn't sure I had actually captured it on the camera till I looked at it on the laptop.
A couple of Swallows passed by the garden this afternoon.
