A bright sunny morning had me washing 'me smalls' so I could use solar power to dry 'em.
After my usual champagne lunch with Heinz baked beans and sausage followed by a helping of spotted Dick I did my, now, usual trek again up Bradshaw Lane to Soil Hill hoping for a new Warbler species.
Again there was a strong cold WNW wind on the hill top. The bottom of the north slope was cool and a bit calmer so I stood about there for a while.
A few Willow Warblers sang and the odd Whitethroat chipped in now and again but nothing new again today.
Birds:-
3 Curlew. 4 Meadow Pipit, 7 (3,3,1) Swift. 3 Blackbird.
c10 Linnet - but probably lots more as they were calling from all over the shop.
Mallard. Lapwing. 3 Pheasant. 3 Swallow. 2 Canada Geese.
4 Willow Warbler.
6 Whitethroat.
2 Wren. 1 Lesser Black-backed Gull.
Mistle Thrush. Chaffinch. 2 Dunnock. Greenfinch.
