Birds and beasts
Listen out for the distinctive calls of the skylark, though you’ll need a sharp eye to spot them flying high over the fields on a warm summers evening. Come autumn, the hedgerows that surround the field host dunnocks, fieldfares and redwings stopping on their long winter migration to shelter and feed. Meanwhile, the long grass provides a haven for voles, shrews and field mice.
