In search of the Wheatear, Soil Hill

                        Welcome to Soil Hill
                  Track level wall to wall
                                    Chocolate sprinkled snow

                                       The stone circle
                                           9ft deep here
                     Trailer park Wheatear field
                                   Field looking good ready for arrivals
                                    TMR . blown clear of snow but frozen over

                                      Snow up on Pen y ghent
Late pm visit.

No vehicle access up Perseverance Rd so had to go from Ogden end up Ned Hill and managed to park in the water board pull in.
The drifts across the track in to Soil Hill were level across the wall tops so had to climb into the field and get in that way. Once on the hill there was very little problem as most of the snow had been blown off but care had to be taken in some on the ravines.
Apart from 2 hardy Skylarks and 3 Meadow Pipits nothing else was on the summit and just 8 Lapwing and several corvids were down near the NK pond.
Another check of the trailer park field fdrew a blank although the field is blown clear of snow and ready for arrivals.
Again no Waxwings showing around the Moorclose, Foxhill area.
Back to work in the morning but should get a teatime session in although its hard to think where to go in these conditions, like DJS commented, parkings the problem.
