Birds in the fields near Chalky Road

There have been good numbers of Skylark and Corn Bunting singing in and around the fields south of Chalky Road recently.  Also groups of adult and young Swallow, swopping low over the crops feeding for insects.  Andy M was lucky enough to see a young Swallow being feed a nourishing mouthful of insects by an adult too - mid-air and ay speed on the wing!

... and more typically in the air above!
