Dip Meter, Ring Ouzel 3 BS 0. Soil Hill

                                  Ring Ouzel alley but not for me.
                                       Colourful male Linnet
                                       Meadow Pipit

Soil Hill was a different world tonight from last night with a cold NE>4 and hazy visibility.
No gull movement at all although the hill was alive with Swallows moving in no particular direction.
I went up, again for Whitethroat and Ring Ouzel, both of which NK assured me this morning that they were still there and waiting for me.
I eventually got onto the elusive Whitethroat after 30minutes of it teasing me with short outbursts of song until I finally got a 30 second sighting.
The third attempt at the Ring Ouzel turned out to be a mega dip after trudging round and round the soil piles and up and down the clay extraction area so I think I can forget this one and move on.
Back to work tomorrow but a nice short week and then we,ve to decide on Friday whether to sit and watch the royal wedding or go out birding, thats going to be a hard one !

11 Linnet
1 Whitethroat
6 Wheatear
usual mipits and skylarks
umpteen Swallows
