Sure was hard work nailing birds too but Denholme Clough finally produced the goods at the end of the return leg. A pr Spotted Flycatcher flying and flitting between bushes and tree tops 😍.
A Buzzard showed on 3 occasions and a Kestrel flew over. The reservoir was poor, just 32 Canadas on it. 2 LBBG upstairs.
3 WW, 2 Swallow ditto Jay. 1 Bullfinch ditto Green Woodpecker and the expected tits etc in very low numbers.
Soil Hill was appalling. 3 Skylark & 6 Goldfinch down by The Shay with a bunch of BHG in an adjacent field. Not a single bird up at the top but judging by the myriad vehicle’s zooming to and fro Ned Hill Road has its own version of the Indy 500 🚛.
The Scuzzers Brothers paid a visit 😡
