Bradshaw - Soil Hill (Again Monday)

13:00 - 15:45

It was an unseasonably ? cold day again today.
After lunch I had my now usual pilgrimage up to Soil Hill, a loiter at the bottom of the north slope before heading off to go through the farms and fields to home.

I am still struggling to hear, or see a 'new' Warbler species on the hill - they are probably further down the north side than I am willing to go (Birding excuse No 5).

Few singers again today and the usual vociferous Whitethroat are reduced to scolding me from the undergrowth periodically.

A couple of competing Blackbirds and a few Willow Warblers did sing, trying to brighten the job a bit.

Birds:-

7 Linnet (at the very least).
Greenfinch, 3 Rook. 4 Pheasant. 4 Skylark,
2 Curlew. Meadow Pipits flitting about.
5 Whitethroat.
2 Lapwing.
Moorhen. Canada Goose. Mallard.
5 Willow Warbler. 4 Dunnock. 2 Blackbird.
2 Swallow. Stock Dove.
House Sparrow.
