I spent 4 hours yesterday wandering out the back of Scotney without seeing another person, plenty of birds but nothing unexpected. Yellow and Pied Wagtails, Linnets Reed and Corn Buntings and Tree Sparrows were in the fields and bushes with1,000s of boisterous young Starlings, Marsh Harriers, Common Buzzards, a juvenile Cuckoo and c80 Sand Martins on the move, best of all a distant hunting Barn owl.
