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.

Soil Hill

Umpteen Linnets all over the hill

Very mobile flock of 100+ with other smaller flocks

Several juv gulls through

Ive told Nigel and his mates from the con. club to stick
to the path.

A blustery Soil Hill pm but bright sunshine. W>5
Linnets were everywhere with the main flock of 100 + and several small break away flocks very mobile and stopping to feed for a few minutes then off again to another spot.
LBB gulls were coming through >W into the wind and Swallows still continued to move >S through the col but in much less numbers than this morning. No signs of Swift.
Checked the bottom end of the hill around the dried up pond but no passerines.
