Ned Hill Track


                                       Ned hill track looking >N
                                   Unusual for Willow Warblers on there..

                                  
With limited birding time today I had to settle for 1 hour on Ned Hill track to see if anything was moving through the Causeway Foot Col.
Very calm and hot up there today with blinding sunshine making a hazy watch to the west.
                                                                  Swallows were moving through >N in decent numbers but only 5 Swift tonight and again no Sand Martin. Gulls are starting to show again now in the area, the adult birds probably being returning none breeders, whilst otherwise it was down to Corvids, Woodpigeon and Stock Doves.
                                                  Managed my first Whitethroat sightings of the year with 3 present but too mobile and keeping in the foliage for any photos suitable to blog. Several Willow Warblers were singing along the track which is a bit of an unusual sighting for on there.

Through the col :-
3 Herring gull
1 Black Headed gull
8 Lesser Black Backed gull
c 40 Swallow
5  Swift
7 Stock Dove
sev Woodpigeon and corvids

Present
