Top of the world. Soil Hill looking >SW.
Oxenhope watchpoint from Soil Hill
Sparrowhawk mobbed with corvid.
Soil Hill 1500-1630hrs Cold ENE> 5 broken cloud.
Excuse shaky typing but after an hour and a half of circling doing a 360degrees watch on Soil Hill it takes a while for your head to get settled.
The wind had dropped slightly and the massive area I was scanning was sure to produce PF Geese,or so I thought, but it wasnt to be. All I got was 2 Snipe >NW, 5 Swallow >S, a few Mipits >N ? and a Sparrowhawk mobbed with corvids. Oh yes, and a DJS on the opposite hill to me (Hunter Hill) squat down
between the hillocks trying to find shelter from the wind. Oh well, roll on next Sunday.

No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
