1 of many Wheatears in Dengemarsh Gully
Dengemarsh Gully held good numbers of Wheatears this morning along with a handful of Willow Warblers but little else. As the farmer was combining the fields in front of my house today, I took a stroll
out to them. Over the fields Swallows, Sand and House martins were having a feeding frenzy on the insects being disturbed by the combine, on the cut stubble 20+ Yellow Wagtails were also feeding well. A Hobby made 2 unsuccessful runs on the Hirundines, but a Common Buzzard swooped down on and flew off with what I think was a Rat.
