13:15 - 15:15
As August bows out I enjoyed an after lunch birding walk up Taylor Lane and around Soil Hill top - back the same way.
A few pools appearing up there now.
The sky look well dodgy so to stop any chance of it raining I donned my waterproof trousers.
Works every time - no rain at all.
Soil Hill was very, very windy which was a tad disappointing and a good look at the field walls and buildings failed to nab me much.
Still great to get up there, clear the mind and blow the cobwebs away.
Birds:
c10 Goldfinch.
5 Linnet.
Chaffinch.
House Sparrow.
4 Meadow Pipit.
2 Lesser Black-backed Gull.
1 Herring Gull.
3 Skylark.
3 Stock Dove.
2 Buzzard together in the air.
2 Kestrel (One perched on the quarry face looked to have a damaged leg).
2 Swallow.
Pied Wagtail.
2 Rook.
and a few other species.
