Just got back from a couple of hours surveying birds on a fenland farm. Highlights were a male Wheatear who obviously needed a rest while flying North, then a lovely pair of Grey Partridge who I saw before they saw me so good views were had of them as they fed and sunbathed.
Yes its the same farm as last year but it will be interesting to see what happens on the land that was flooded to control soil pests. Its an arable farm with the usual fenland crops and intensive salad, someone's lettuce for a month or so's time is under those sheets.
