Soil Hill

Perishing up there this afternoon - but always a chance of finding something!
1 Kestrel
7 Grey Partridge
4 little brown jobs flushed from the heather but gave me no chance of identification flying directly away from me in fading light with no calls heard - possibly Twite or maybe Reed Buntings (?)
c40 Fieldfares headed over Ned Hill >N as dusk approached
It was good to meet up with BS on the hill and we watched a few small gulls heading over Ogden and the golf course towards a Calderdale roost. 150 or more Jackdaws were heading to a roost in the opposite direction heading towards Denholme.

Just a test to see if Andy has got me back on the blog ok.
Enjoyed your company yesterday Dave, not to mention the maltesers
