Looking down on Soil Hill
Garden House Sparrow
The tipping now on Soil Hill is so intense that you can actually walk up and look down on the original hill.It was 1200ft above sea level but is rapidly rising and could soon be touching 1400ft.
Things were very quiet on the hill but the good news is I didnt waste 90 minutes watching England get wiped out. Gulls were on the move mostly heading for TMR where I could just see a shoreline heaving with them.
Two that bypassed the reservoir were 2 GBBs heading >NE. The last bird seen and the highlight of the afternoon was a Hobby powering over the moor and >S past Hunter Hill.
1 Hobby >S
6 BH gull >N
11 LBB gull >N
4 Herring gull >N
