The area , which I have,nt birded for some time, was alive with bird life.
House Martins were everywhere with several young and a first that I know of with Sand Martins in and out of holes in the clay hillside which looks like a small breeding colony.
Whitethroat were doing their parachuting song ritual and several Linnet were in the gorse bushes.
