Soil Hill to Mixenden

SH: a single Lapwing in the air bottom of Persecution Rd. Also AC who managed a Kestrel and stated it was a good day for gulls. He wasn't wrong; I've never seen as many in the area. I estimate roughly 650+ small and large species throughout.

The hill top produced 2 Meadow Pipit & 3 Skylark, one of them doing choir practice.
2 Curlew went over high > N calling briefly. Not a pair,  they were separated by 20 minutes or so.



The Ogden gulls included fair numbers of Herring and a few LBBG. A Grey Wagtail flew across the embankment. Arboreal species were once again at a premium. A pair Bullfinch, low numbers of Chaffinch and Goldfinch plus the common Tits & 3 Blackbird.


From Ogden to Mixenden refer to any of the previous 6/7 posts.
