Tuesday 21/04 up north to Soil Hell. Not too much happening but better than yesterday. The wind lacked ice while increasing it's punches a bit.
Old Guy Rd had an adult LBBG fly over, couple Meadow Pipit & Skylark.
Soil Hill top was basically unworkable but a few of the usual suspects were hanging on in.
The bottom pond Grey Heron appears to have gobbled up the Dullard ducklings. I saw a singleton swim across the water never to return. 2 minutes later both parents flew toward Ogden Water with the Heron leaving shortly after.
Ned Hill track was sheltered, producing 2 WW, 1 each Blackbird & Pheasant with a couple of Swallow flying over low down.
I got a bird here that I haven't seen at the site for a long while; a male Stonechat.
Also: 1 Kestrel, ditto Pied Wagtail, Curlew, 5/6 Linnet throughout the hill.
Ropey Lane coughed up singles of Swallow & WW.
