Breezy Soil Hill

The Grey skies and cold E'ly blow didn't make for too much bird song today other than the Skylarks and Meadow Pipits. However there were some interesting moments which when totalled up made the slog worthwhile. 

1 each Snipe, Kestrel, Moorhen, Oystercatcher & Reed Bunting. 2 Curlew & 3 Lapwing. 2 WW, 3 Whitethroat ditto Blackbird & 1 Little Owl. Several Linnet throughout, couple Goldfinch.

1 Swallow & a WW at Roper Lane. This is the first time in 20 Years close to April's end that the Old Guy Rd area as failed to produce a Wheatear or the scarcer Whinchat. Once again it was almost silent.
