Field full of Meadow Pipits
Gloomy view over Causeway Foot Col towards Ogden
A dull gloomy day with drizzle and slight rain and visibility very poor especially to the east, very little breeze.
Had to go back to work at lunchtime in the car so took the advantage of a quick 15 minute dash to Soil Hill to check out the western hillside from the Ned Hill track.
No signs of Wheatear or Ring Ouzel but the place was crawling with Meadow Pipits which all looked fresh in the way they were feeding together. Around 70 were in the well grazed goose field and several others were scattered along the wall tops.
Three Alba Wagtails went over >NW but visibility was too poor for sky watching.
