full song.
A favourable SE >4 didn,t help much with a one hour search of Soil Hill , top to bottom and end to end in the hope of a stray Snow Bunting with very little found at all.
Two Skylarks were holding territory noisily flying around me as I approached followed by the male rising up in full spring song.
A kestrel was hovering near the mast whilst a Meadow Pipit was on the east summit. JLs Carrion Crows looked pleased when I threw some seed down. Just 2 Moorhen and a pair of Mallard down on the NK pond with 1 Wren in the Alders.
A short 360 deg sky watch in fading light produced just mainly small gulls and a few LBBs going in to the Oxenhope roost.
I was hoping for a skein of Pinkies to the west in a red sky background but this never materialized.
Oh well, I,ve managed to fit plenty birding in over the hols and its back to work tomorrow for a short week with Friday off.
