Hunter Hill (am) Castle Carr road (pm)

 A poor morning in the 'claggy' hill fog which was stubborn to move with little wind to move it on.

Very few moving birds observed other than a few gulls, 6 Swallows and 18 Meadow Pipits >S. Around the site a decent mix of species including Green Woodpecker, 2 Kestrel, 6 Skylark, 40+ Meadow Pipits, 30 Goldfinch and a single Linnet.

An afternoon stroll along Castle Carr Road didn't turn up much but it's always nice to come across a pair of Stonechats and a single Wheatear with a single Red Grouse calling on the moor.
