The crop in the top field at Venus Pool has now been cut back to stubble and injected a new lease of life in the activity there. A huge Finch flock is in and out feeding on the ground and best viewed from near the large Oak tree. With birds into the 100's - primarily Reed Buntings and Yellowhammer with good numbers of Brambling, Chaffinch etc, it's a sight worth seeing!
The birds are quite flighty but here are male and female
Yellowhammer.....
