Soil Hill pm visit

A good watch point

Kestrel coming in to land

    Skylarks never desert the hill

Very calm on the hill which is unusual up there but soon the mist and drizzle started rolling in followed by heavy rain,  LBBs were still moving through as were Starllings with small squadrons of young birds  all >NW.
The summit and part way down the slopes are
 now totally destroyed, even the Jack Snipe reed beds in the NE corner have gone. The only advantage to the hill now is an excellent vantage point for migration watch.
Having said that, a Red Legged Partridge was a nice surprise.
2 Cuckoos were heard calling, one towards TMR and the other from Denholme Clough.
