Soil Hill
A very brisk wind blew across a sunny and clear soil hill today.9 Snow Buntings,1 Linnet,1 Woodcock,1 Skylark,1 female blackbird,5 BH Gull,20 lapwing (north)1 Kestrel and 6 carrion Crows made for a most enjoyable visit..
Good one with the Woodcock Andy,a bird Ive never had on the hill. Nigel will have to fill you in with dates , I know he,s had them up there in previous years.
Normally Woodcock start to appear on the hill from end October. I have been getting them for the last 6/7 years. So far this year none have been reported (including input from KM of BOG). Yours is the first so far in 2011
Well done on finally getting a Woodcock up there.
ReplyDeleteWhen was the last one...???/
