An early evening dash round in windy and damp conditions checking Soil Hill for waders, Ogden for Terns and 4 Little Owl sites.
No gulls or Terns for Ogden with the water well over the top plus the Gt Crested Grebes have moved on.
Looking in the wood from the reservoir perimeter path found 6 Treecreepers, 2 Goldcrest 1 f Blackcap and 3 Willow Warblers.
Soil Hill was deserted other than the usual Larks, Mipits Linnets etc. though the scrapes are looking very healthy. Two Kestrels hovered over the Ned Hill track.
Out of 4 known Little Owl sites, 1 held 2 birds. Another held 1 bird , and the other 2 drew a blank, 1 having no sightings this year.
