Young Lapwing takes to the air
Juv Meadow pipit waiting for the food
Skylark collecting tea for its young
Not many Robins on Soil Hill
Plenty juv Starlings feeding
Skies alive, juv Starlings
Soil Hill 1900-2000 hrs. Bright and sunny with coo NE>4. Visibility, Ferrybridge.
A typical June evening up on the hill with everything busy on family duties.
A good year for breeding Meadow Pipit with birds everywhere collecting food for their young along with at least 5 Skylark doing the same.
A pair of Lapwing were up steering me away from a chick whilst another pair had 1 flying juv.
Starling juvs numbered up to 100 busy feeding in the field by the mast whilst a single Curlew flew overhead.
The tree line was poor with just 1 pr Dunnock near the bottom.
A Robin was singing near the mast which was unusual.

NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
