As I put up these photos I wonder why all the birds are facing the same way! We have either a second pair of collared doves making a nest or our resident pair have decided to relocate. Unfortunately they've chosen a spot immediately above where Dave has been working in the barn sanding down a door (with inevitable consequences!) The red legged partridge and his wife like to potter along the side of the road in the morning looking for their favourite dandelion seed heads, but on this occasion I photographed them by the top of the Big Field. The house martins are another bird that likes our lane, on summer evenings a whole little flock of them will sweep down presumably collecting mud for emergency house repairs. When we first came here we mistook them for swallows but they are much more gregarious and easy to spot with their white undersides.
