With newly emerging green shoots of wheat, the field in front of the house is proving to be very attractive to the local birds. I regularly see large flocks (up to sixty individuals) of species such as, jackdaw, crow, feral pigeons. There are also, smaller flocks of skylarks and linnets(thirty birds); red legged partridge, pheasant, fieldfare and meadow pipit. It is quite astonishing that the should be such a large and varied source of food in just one field.
Redwings have now joined the fieldfares as our usual winter migrants.
