An early morning wander over the golf course and through the bridlepath adjacent to Chapel Lane. Highlight were 2 grey partridges in New Road whilst everything else was as you were. Green woodpeckers appear to be all over the course, at least 5 birds seen and/or heard. A kestrel was hovering in fields north of Chapel Lane along with a small party of yellowhammers.2 photos from the walk. The first dog mercury is now pushing through the undergrowth and next to the 17th green, a hare shot past me. Their numbers are increasing upon the course, with 3 seen regularly. Last year, I estimated 5 breeding pairs, so time for a survey of this marvellous mammal is now in order.
