heading towards Ogden. Just make them out over
the point of the gable end.
Walking to work this morning in the dark a skein of around 30 Canada geese flew low overhead >W towards Ogden. I turned round as they went over and took a quick shot in the dark where they can just be seen heading away.
A pleasant last light visit to Soil Hill in bright clear conditions with a NNE> 4 with again plenty activity.
The 2 Stock doves were again present as well as the 2 male Reed Buntings along with the male Stonechat.
Two newcomers from yesterday were a single Skylark and a Common Snipe, both on the west summit.
Several Fieldfare were in the mast field and the Little Owl was sunning itself on a wall whilst several mixed gulls headed for the Oxenhope roost.
I walk the same route every visit which covers both summits, the mounds and the track so I can get a better idea of new birds coming or going as with the Snipe and Skylark.
The large raptor reported over Roils Head towards Queensbury must have gone down or turned >S as I was on the hill at the time and scanned over Roils Head and all the surrounding sky with no sighting.
