Soil Hill invasion


Winter Thrushes piling over Soil Hill.
Wainhouse Tower in the background .
Mainly Fieldfare but Redwing and Mistles in amongst.

Soil Hill was alive with winter thrushes this p.m. with many coming in at last light.
The majority of birds were Fieldfare with several Redwing and a scattering of Mistle Thrush.
Good to meet Jane Uttley up there on the ice cap looking for the group of Grey Partridge which seemed to be keeping their heads down, hope you were lucky Jane.

Fieldfare c 350
Redwing c 60
Mistle Thrush 10
LBB gull 6
