Soil Hill; Week 28th June - 04th July

 Soil Hill
  This week has seen rather limited visits to Soil Hill due to twitching rare seabirds and visiting Spurn for birthdays. However, that does not mean that there has been nothing of note. As is typical during this time of year, juveniles of nearby breeders disperse onto the Hill providing some variety in the species composition. This week saw the first juvenile Great-spotted Woodpecker of the year flew north on the 29th, and there has been at least one juvenile Coal Tit present on and off throughout the week. On the 01st a juvenile Stonechat was again present, but this time at the bottom of the North Slope.
  Otherwise the locals have continued their busy feeding their fledglings or nestlings. Whitethroat and Willow Warbler juveniles are now in abundance, as are both Great and Blue Tits. The Mistle Thrush have continued to run a busy feeding schedule and hopefully it will soon be time for the large creches to start congregating on the wires. At least two juvenile Pied Wagtails are providing entertainment on Taylor Lane and juvenile Corvids can be found in all the fields.
