Soil Hill
Although this is a weekly summary, the reality is that I only made three visits to Soil Hill during this seven-day period. Poor weather and only returning from Spurn on the Tuesday meant I could only squeeze a few visits in. But the visits I was able to make were rewarding, with a few nice birds and good species totals
The best bird of the week was a Chiffchaff on the 11th, which is my first here this year and much showier than any of the individuals I have seen in the past. It was uttering a quiet song as it flitted around the North Slope Tree-Line, which made it difficult to locate as it often sounded much further away than it was.
A new male Blackcap has taken up residence in the North Slope Tree-line, being present on each visit this week. The number of Blue, Coal and Great Tit juveniles continues to increase, presumably supplemented by arrivals from other nearby locations. A juvenile Stonechat was on Taylor Lane on the 9th and Mistle Thrush numbers continue to build up with a high count of 10 also this week.
