With a very warm day forecast I headed off to Soil Hill this morning instead of this aft.
A distant horse in one of the fields had 5 Jackdaw on its back. Looked like they were collecting horsehair.
If it is for mattress making these Jackdaws are a lot cleverer than I've gave them credit for.
I'm still on the look out for a scarce Warbler, on the hill, but so far they are not singing for me.
The bird of the day was Whitethroat with birds seen or heard in 3 different locations - Ned Hill Track - Soil Hill north slope - bottom of Bradshaw Lane.
A longish stand and an apple under the shade of a coolabah tree (not good with tree ID's) on the north slope was relaxing.
Birds:-
Bradshaw Fields to Ned Hill Road.
Little Owl ( The Owl was A.W.L. for a bit now it's O.W. L again).
2 Curlew. 4 Linnet. 2 Willow Warbler.
