A hare running across the back field, and, more unusually, as I was rearranging the clematis on the arch, I heard scratching from the top of the (very) adjacent fence. Expecting either a squirrel of a pigeon, I was most surprised to see the jackdaw we’ve spotted a couple of times recently elsewhere in the field. Oh, and a couple of circling buzzards, but then they’re becoming almost as plentiful as the red kites.
