19th June - sunny intervals, 18C, becoming more cloudy and breezy with light rain and cooler evening time

Surveyed the arable farm to the west of the village today.  The area has many Yellowhammers and Chaffinch in territories, which is good.  A Lesser Whitethroat, two Common Whitethroat and Blackcap were singing. A yellow Wagtail flew in to the wheat and disappeared from view.  A pair of Buzzard were flying around and agitated, a young or nest must have been close.

Six Lesser-black Backed Gulls were on the adjacent ploughed field, both Linnet and Goldfinch were heard flying over and a Swift was feeding overhead.  Other usual farmland birds were also seen, so not a bad selection probabaly breeding birds
