Bit of a late start today due to recovering from yesterdays mountaineering!! So after a leisurely breakfast Margie and I made a circuit of Hurst, down Bullfinch Lane across the fields, then back over the Danny fields!
Started well with a Red Kite being harassed by a Rook over Orchard Close, the Cherry Trees are in full Blossom down there and look lovely.

Bullfinch lane, was sadly lacking in Bullfinches, but did have a Goldfinch, a few Blue Tits and a calling Chiffchaff in a Willow Tree which showed well eventually.

We crossed the fields at the bottom, Skylarks singing and a brief burst of Yellowhammer song, one Yellowhammer in Yellowhammer alley, however the hedge there has been greatly reduced so whether they will breed this year, I don't know, fingers crossed! A Raven cronked by but in general pretty quiet a couple of distant Buzzards.

We crossed the road and headed across the Danny Fields, pretty muddy, only birds of note were a pair of Mistle Thrush which showed ok, would have liked them a bit closer, along the footpath behind the high street, we had a nice Brimstone butterfly which actually landed!!
