Soil Hill
2 Twite creeping about in the weeds and approachable to 5 meters. Took some photos but the light was not good - this is the best I could do. 9 Linnets 1 Meadow Pipit 1 male Reed Bunting 7 Grey Partridge 3 adult Herring Gulls and 2 LBB Gulls west The habitat looks ideal for Snow Bunting!
Glad the Twite are hanging on, got some seed down last week on the NW corner where they seem to favour. As you say, the habitat is ideal for Snow Bunt, just a big area of ruts to find them in. Sorry I couldnt get up there but it was near dark by the time we,d got home and Id taken the dogs out etc, hate these dark nights.
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,
