A very enjoyable walk this morning, with a good variety of species. Was hoping for an early Wheatear but it did not arrive.
- Highlight was a Woodcock flushed at the bottom of the North Slope. Also, a single Jack Snipe flushed from a different area.
- There was a single Long-tailed Tit in the garden of Rabbit Dell along Taylor Lane, not a species I have encountered often on Soil Hill.
- A pair of Raven flew south before returning back north.
- A single Teal was flushed from the bottom ditch, and two Goosanders flew NW.
- Three Stonechat were at the bottom of the North Slope; 2 females and a male
- A single Lesser Redpoll flew north over Taylor Lane
In total managed 48 species this morning, with Starling being the only notable omission! the full list here; https://ebird.org/checklist/S131089519
-Woodcock
-Jack Snipe
-Long-tailed Tit

Amazing flight photos Daniel. I find it hard just getting my bins onto a flushed bird.
