Soil Hill to Mixenden

The hill was passage only but still coughed up 4 Whitethroat & Skylark with a Curlew being heard.
I did a search up by the Giants Tooth and came away feeling ever so smug after first hearing and then getting good views of Spotted Flycatcher. Some 70 yards further on I heard more calls but no bird seen.

The golf course produced Reed Bunting and a Whitethroat but the trek across Hunter Hill bottom was void. However despite a load of people and dogs Mixenden Res held a splendiferous drake Wigeon.



The Redshank was still present with 2 pr Tufted Duck also.
