Queensbury to Soil Hill

Old Guy Rd: 2 singing Skylark, 1 Meadow Pipit.


Raggalds Flood (which probably won't be in 36 hours) pr Redshank, 3 Pied Wagtail and my first Swallow of the year nearby. An Oystercatcher flew up high over the road to perdition.

Soil Hill:  my first Willow Warbler of the year, 4 Curlew, pr Oystercatcher, 2 Grey Heron, 8 Lapwing, 2 Chaffinch, 1 Great Tit ditto Robin, 2 Linnet. Busy with Skylarks & Mipits, 9 Crows.



There were another 7 Pied Wagtail at least on and around the hill which I'm sure were all yarelli but it was a reminder to check for alba too from now on.
Another WW was singing from the plantation in Ropey Lane.
