The Breeding Season

As from now until the end of the breeding season birds of a sensitive nature will be omitted from this blog due to a small percentage of undesirables who take their pleasure from egg collecting, nest destroying and the killing and trapping of birds.
Reports of non breeding birds moving through the area will still be published. BS

Soil Hill /west.

Nice to get up on the hill after being dragged around Brighouse in the blazing heat this pm. Soil Hill was quite pleasant with a fresh SE>4 even making visibility a little better. No sign of this mornings Whitethroat along the track so probably one moving through.
