Osprey Watch/ Ned Hill

Some Swallows still coming through.
Withens Gap through the haze from Ned Hill
Ned Hill watchpoint >NW towards TMR.

Ned Hill/ Soil Hill  1600-1700hrs  strong W>5, Bright.

Spent 1 hour here in the hope of an Osprey sneaking through but not to be. Swallows were still moving but in low numbers and the only other birds of note in the sky were LBBs and Common Gull as well as the usual corvids.
The summit of Soil Hill was alive with Meadow Pipits scratting about in the rubble where the scrapes used  to be but there were no sign of this mornings 6 Greylag geese that landed up there (DCB) mid morning.
