In the Open Fields - Birds

About 2 miles from where I live is an area of open fields with sheep grazing and various crops growing. 

It is a great place to find a variety of small bird life.

I normally find Corn Buntings, Stonechats, Linnets, Goldfinch and also Skylarks. On this occasion I concentrated on all but the latter.
