A cool sunny morning warmed up but clouded up a bit as I enjoyed a 4 hour birding walk today.
Pretty quiet on Soil Hill Top but Meadow Pipit were popping up all around and 3 Skylark were up there.
I enjoyed my Yorkie Bar and a coffee when I got to Ogden Water and I did one circuit of the water.
I fared a bit better today with a few birds 'saying hello.
The water remains stubbornly low but there is rain in this week's forecast.
Lots of Pinkies reported going west but I did not see any in my bit of sky - in fact the sky was very quiet.
