pm visit 1600-1715hrs cool NE>4 dark clouds.
Soil Hill this evening was about the same as Ogden this morning, birdless but without the Shelducks.
Just the usual Skylarks and Meadow Pipits, Lapwings and corvids and that was it.
A full search of the tree line and along the bottom north ridge produced 1 Blackbird and 2 Dunnocks so it was home with yet again an empty camera.
A non birding trip out this afternoon to Ilkley then Otley produced 4 Red Kite, 6 Buzzard , 2 Sparrowhawks and a Kestrel and thats just whilst I was driving.
