Bradshaw - Soil Hill (Sat)

12:00 - 14:30

I switched on the autopilot setting on me hiking boots and it took me unerringly to Soil Hill via the Bradshaw fields and farms again.

This is a copy and paste blog if ever there was one.

Cuckoo's were being reported in several locations via my Calderdale Birding WhatsApp but not by me.

I will see a Cuckoo this evening however, it will be the Cuckoo, cooks me tea, and  - that's me.

It was a tad on the chilly side as I set off but I was over dressed later when the sun shone.

Apart for lots of black flies things were quieter than yesterday on the hill - very few singers.
