Soil Hill last light visit

Lapwings now holding territory

Bit of sun on Ringby Top from Soil Hill
1600-1700hrs

Due to the strong SW>6 and the lateness of the hour it was no surprise that Soil Hill was quiet to say the least.
Lapwings are now holding territory up there whilst 3 Skylarks kept close to the deck.
A single Moorhen was on the NK pond but no joy with the Woodcock after searching all the usual hot spots.
5 Herring gulls headed >W on their usual track over Ringby Top.

Raggalds Flood held 4 Lapwings and 6 Mallard at 0700hrs this morning.
