Soil Hill to Hunter Hill

SH 0810 hrs. The Sand Martins have moved on from the quarry.
4 Oystercatcher, 6 Lapwing, 8 Curlew, 3 Whitethroat, pr Red-legged Partridge, 5 Linnet & residents.

A pr Tufted Duck were on Ogden Res. The trees coughed up a few WW, 2 Chiffchaff  & a Blackcap.

I bumped into DP by the golf course who had just heard a Cuckoo call 3 times from Hunter Hill.

As we walked toward Mixenden Res a Grasshopper Warbler reeled several times from the juncus nearby. It was still there performing about an hour later.

At the top of Hunter Hill was a pr Raven and 1 each of Kestrel & Mistle Thrush.
