Soil Hill

 An overcast and then foggy morning on Soil Hill today. Absolutely brilliant birding, however, with a few species of note.

  • A YELLOW WAGTAIL flew west towards Ogden at c.07:35, seen from the bottom of the North Slope. Managed a couple of appalling record shots. Sadly LNK was elsewhere recording a reeling Grasshopper Warbler, which was a shame as she would have got a brilliant audio recording. 
  • A juvenile Sedge Warbler and male Blackcap were present, plus a reeling Grasshopper Warbler.
  • The Spotted Flycatcher which was in the garden of Rabbit Dell off Taylor Lane yesterday afternoon was still present this morning.
  • No less than four Tree Pipit flew south during the morning.
  • Still 10 Grey Partridge distributed in the fields along Taylor Lane and Perseverance Road.
In total managed 47 species, the full list here; https://ebird.org/checklist/S117425904

Yellow Wag is always a bonus for Calderdale nowadays. Flight photo a bit of a challenge !
