Almost major, but a nice image and story in itself. I'm sure it would have a use in a publication to show the relationship between farming and wildlife.
Keith the bird is on a nest and I was waiting for it to blow its top but it didnt need to in the finish.
Simon it was only the other day that I was talking to an estate keeper(Deer) He said they dont half cane the foxes but that ground nesting birds were more in eveidence as a result. However I had to laugh as he never mentioned the effect of the deer or anyother livestock that they have plus he was busy cutting the grass ready for an open air concert. I wonder how many ground nesters suffered as a result.

Did you not mention it to him Major, cutting the grass that is... Wasting your breath I suppose.. Just the other day, local to me, I noticed lots of Sky Larks using a large field. I went past it yesterday and it had been cut for a Village Fair....
The country is too small with too many people that don't give a sh$%..
Nice work Major.
