I walked up through my Lockdown Fields towards the Ridgeway (see May 2020 Bird Diary for map) to look for wheatears. The two westernmost fields are planted with a root crop and useless for wheatears, but the other two, ploughed, tilled and farmed organically, yielded two males. I plan to keep looking, hoping for a repeat of last year's inland passage of Greenland type birds. Blackcap and willow warbler, but no garden warbler or whitethroat just yet.
