Soil Hill this afternoon was rewarding with a flock of 9 Snow Buntings present until at least 3 pm. Unfortunately it was too windy to get any shots of the birds which include at least 5 males. This afternoon they favoured the mounds and the bare field 100m to north east of the mast.
c8 Skylarks also present mainly down the north slope along with 1 Pheasant.
Mixenden Res'r
1 female Goldeneye and B H and Common Gulls present
9 Goldfinch
23 Magpies

Brave man doing the Hill on a day like today,great rewards carnt remember thet many before..???BL had 21 at langfield a long time ago.!!!!
Great stuff Dave, just as we we,re saying they had gone,wonder if this is part of the same lot or a new group in. CK had about 20 a few years back up there so there,s time for them to build up yet.
Well done for venturing up there today.
Any seed put down for them, if so where as I'll try get up this weekend and drop some off.
They,were again on the hill this morning(9 mostly males 7/3 I think)also flushed a Woodcock from the grass and it then flew towards the farm.Very close views of two males about 4 feet away...camera...left it at home,,,,,,,,,,,,,dohhhhhh
Sorry Jim, only just seen your request! They can be anywhere on the top but the best spot seems to be just on the bare ground/edge of the longer grass just go up the track then to the right just after the mast. I dont think any seed has been put down as there is so much natural food for them there but some seed will obviously not go amiss and might encourage them to stay longer?!!
