Mixenden Res'r and Soil Hill
3 of the 4 Snow Buntings this morning on Soil Hill
This morning
10 Goosander (8 males) and 3 Goldeneye (1 male) at Mixenden.
Soil Hill produced the goods after about an hour tramping round with a Jack Snipe flushed on the north west slope which dropped back into the heather about 60 meters away. I left it be as guess it will be struggling to feed with the ground frozen hard up there.
8 Skylarks on the top and, eventually, 4 Snow Buntings showing well on the south facing mounds just at the edge of the flat area beyond the mast.

A good day on the hill Dave and a just reward for your effort. Glad you turned up the missing 4.
Hope you took Jen up there with you, its her favourite patch.
