Soil Hill

Made a post Little Bustard twitch visit to Soil Hill this afternoon, and it was well worth it. Clocked 30 species, included a few migrants. Highlights; 2 Spotted Flycatchers, a flyover Tree Pipit (Heard only but called twice) and a nice female/immature Bullfinch, which was a patch tick for me.
Other species of interest; two Juvenile Willow Warblers, a number of Whitethroats and what appeared to be a molting male Blackcap.

Species List:
Soil Hill: Common Pheasant, Feral Pigeon, Stock Dove, Woodpigeon, Black-headed Gull, Common Gull, Herring Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull, Sparrowhawk, Magpie, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Blue Tit, Skylark, Barn Swallow, Willow Warbler, Blackcap, Whitethroat, Wren, Starling, Blackbird, Spotted Flycatcher, Robin, Dunnock, Pied Wagtail, Meadow Pipit, Tree Pipit, Bullfinch, Linnet, Goldfinch, Common Hawker, Wall Brown, Small Heath, Meadow Brown, Small White, Small Copper, Painted Lady, Red Admiral, Small Tortoiseshell, Roe Deer,
