Evening walk towards Hildersham Wood

On a sunny evening last week (1st April), Andy M took a walk south of the LSA towards Hildersham Wood.  In the pleasantly warm evening sun, there was much wildlife about. High above a Crow harried a Red Kite, whilst in the hedgerows below the Blackthorn was coming into flower well, and the birds were singing - Robin, and several Yellowhammer and Corning Bunting. Across the fields there were both Fallow Deer (with black crescents on their behinds), and a pair of Roe Deer in the distance, as well as some marvelously close views of the Hare that were chasing each other around the fields.

 A number of male Yellowhammer occupied positions high in the trees to proclaim their territories

... and close by, male Corn Bunting were doing the same, with their 'jangling keys' song
