Great picture Len !

It wasn't present today. In fact half of the manure pile has disappeared during the day and the dried up flood has mostly been ploughed today.

A Roe Deer, a Whitethroat, 1 Reed Bunting, 4 Stock Dove and a Yellowhammer early evening today at Eyes Lane.

Holker Lane had 4 Wheatear, 8-10 Oystercatcher, 1 Curlew heard and 4 Pied Wagtail early evening too.

Thanks John, right place , right time for once.

Had a look down tonight, the wet field is still being ploughed but there is still some water at the west end. Half of manure heap now gone but the ploughed in manure could still be attractive to some birds - none there tonight though.
