Soil Hill p.m.visit Hot and sunny, almost thought it was summer !
The whole western side of the hill was crawling with Mipits and Wheatears the same as Fly Flatts this morning though a phone call to DCB found he had none.
A record total of 34 Wheatear were counted and if I had have had time to scan the walls etc Im sure there would have been many more.
Wheatear............17 around Ned Hill track
...........14 by old mistle and surrounding fields
...........3 by mast
Total 34.
Mipits around mast and Ned Hill track............138
Woodpigs.....................11
Moorhen.......................1
Tortoiseshell butterflies everywhere.
