A quick p.m. visit to Soil Hill on the 3rd anniversary of the last Dotterel give or take a few days proved fruitless and very hard going in the howling ENE>6 gusting 7.
The habitat is ideal around the edges of the summit for a stop over bird but now very hard to bird with hills and trenches everywhere ideal for a bird to loose itself in.
The skies were quiet tonight with the wind detering any movement apart from Swallows piling through >SE.
