Soil Hill to Mixenden Res

Overall not very much action but there were 3 intervals of interest.


A ginormous male Peacock was in the middle of Persecution Rd so I ensured it didn't attack any vehicles and took a couple of shots with the mobile bone when it went nearer home.

A Grasshopper Warbler reeled a few times from undergrowth above the Ned Hill track. Also a few Skylark, Meadow Pipit plus a couple Swallow & Pied Wagtail.

Ogden Res had 1 each drake Tufted Duck & Grey Heron plus a pr GC Grebe. Just 1 each Blackcap & WW heard.
The golf course stretch to Hunter Hill was just exercise but then it picked up.



A pr Buzzard were towing a Crow along in their slipstream.

Mixenden Res sported 3 BHG, 7 LBBG & 1 Common Sandpiper flushed unintentionally by a passing family.
