Soil Hill late afternoon was in contrast to Daniels last visit back to normal and producing very little.
Up to 8 singing Skylark were present along with 2 Curlew over the Shay being mobbed by territorial Lapwings.
Meadow Pipits were everywhere and 2 Grey Partridge were on the west summit.
A search of the north slope tree line failed to produce early Ring Ouzel or Wheatear but another pond was a nice surprise down at the bottom holding 1 pr Mallards, the NK Mk 2 pond.
