Soil Hill

Outstanding day on the Hill this morning, possibly the best of the Autumn so far:

• A GREEN SANDPIPER flew south over the North Slope. First picked it up on call before it flew into view. Then continued flying south. Difficult to photograph but fortunately LNK was able to get a brilliant recording of the bird, which is uploaded here.
• Three Spotted Flycatchers; 1 top of the North Slope, 1 Ned Hill Track & 1 Koi Farm Copse
• One Tree Pipit flew south. Audio recording here; https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/475394911
• One Grasshopper Warbler seen and heard 'tacking' 
• 15 Willow Warbler counted in total, as well as 14 Whitethroat. A female/immture Blackcap was also present
