Soil Hill to Mixenden

Less SW'ly wind today so my teeth are still in situ.
1 mebbe 2 Whitethroat singing from the scrubland top of Albert Road.

The hill was quiet, just the usual residents plus 1 each Swallow, Curlew & Whitethroat.
Ogden coughed up 1 Grey Wagtail ditto Grey Heron. 3 Treecreeper, 1 Swift & the expected.

The golf course had singing Whitethroat & WW plus a few Linnet. A most welcome sighting was that of 5 Stonechat working there way up towards Mixenden stile. It appeared there was a female with 4 juveniles and quite noisy they were too.

Mixenden Res had a Chiffchaff, 4 Tufted Duck, 1 each BHG, House Martin and a party of House Sparrow.
