Soil Hill and thereabout ... again

14:00 - 16:00

Another beautiful sunny day with a pleasant cooling breeze.
I took a saunter up to Soil Hill and back.

Birds:

Greenfinch, Swallow, Little Owl, Skylark, Meadow Pipit.
Sparrowhawk - very high far off to the east.
Sparrowhawk seen later on - again very, very high over Bradshaw Lane - probably the same bird.
Willow Warbler, Pheasant, 3 Linnet, Goldfinch, Lapwing, Woodpigeon, PR Oystercatcher.
Whitethroat, Pied Wagtail, 1 Swift was about it.

The lower NK pond was busy with what looked like 2 Moorhen with 2 chicks and a couple of Mallard.
The pond is too distant to get any clear ID though.

Some photos, mostly Meadow Pipit .... a bit dull I'm afraid.

Mixenden Reservoir in the distance


Coal Lane


Though this was a corvid at the time.
Probably a Pheasant.
Any comments on the ID would be welcome
