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.

ReplyDeleteKiitos Anne.
DeleteLovely photos! We have those four birds in and around our garden. I think the Stonechats nest in our front hedge and this summer we have had Linnets around all the time. I started using the Merlin app (K has used it for ages) but I wanted to know what all those birds I could hear were (I am useless at remembering bird song/calls) and these four feature commonly.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mandy. I'm OK with a few common calls. I don't like the idea of attracting birds with the calls on the App like some do.
