Soil Hill seemed out of character this morning as it was even warm on the top with no wind at all.
Not a lot doing other than 40 Lapwings in fields to the north plus 8 flyovers high >E. Two Moorhen down there along with 4 Canada Geese with 2 Greylag Geese flyovers >E.
3 Skylarks singing on the top. 1 Meadow Pipit flushed
A pair of Little Owls nearby.
Hebble Brook below Ogden reservoir was worth a check this afternoon. Found a sheltered spot in some warm sunshine - so had a Chiffchaff - feeding continuously in and around an overgrown privet bush. I just managed a phone video as it flitted about but no song or call heard. Maybe an overwintering bird or perhaps an early migrant, who knows ?
Nothing much on the water at Ogden though a Green Woodpecker was calling nearby as well as a Greenfnch singing and plenty of small bird activity down towards the golf club house.

A Good selection there Dave.
Always pleasing to see an early Chiffchaff.
Not many Meadow Pipits around ... yet.
