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
