A cycle ride around the Lairiere Plains turned up a few wheatears, Whinchats and tree pipits but the sight of three golden plover was more unusual. I first saw them as they flew across near the eoliens but they circled around and landed in a recently planted rape field. They were still feeding there when I left some twenty minutes later. I hope they have moved on before the chasse begins on Sunday.
There are still plenty of swallows flying around and another ploughed field held about a dozen white wagtails while above, eight buzzards were sharing the same thermal.
