A short walk around New Road and the golf course footpaths gave good sightings of regular birds. A yellowhammer: shown here, was most confiding and it was refreshing to observe a party of 50+ house sparrows around Home Farm. A much declining species. Also of note, a party of mixed finches along the River Ash valley, predominantly linnets and goldfinch. A male linnet is shown here in New Road. A lone herring gull and 3 lesser black backed gulls were all seen loafing around recently disturbed fields. Other photos here show a splendid show of ox eye daisies and poppies as well as a close up of a poppy.
