A walk this am,, starting 9.30. Cold, fairly still, some cloud and some sunshine.
1 snipe
15 lapwing
6 golden plover
5 curlew
1 reed bunting
1 kestrel
1 raven
2 skylarks
plenty of swallows and house martins
lots of meadow pipits
Plus the usual species
Lots of changes close to Crow Hill, including knocking down dry stone walls, a trench dug, work on a bridleway/track using hard core etc. Looks like bigger fields are being created. Usually at this time of year the area is very wet, so the presumably the farmer has been taking advantage of the dry weather to make the changes. Hawthorn planting seems to in fashion in the area.
A good dander but the changes to the scape are a bit worrying.
