The title conjures up thoughts of Corn Buntings, Grey Partridge, Yellowhammer and Lapwing doesnt it?
Well two Farms in Cornwall have their own 'Farmland Birds' at the moment!
Treganhoe Farm nr Drift had Cattle Egret (15+), Glaucous Gull and Iceland Gull in its surrounding fields today and Trevollard Farm at Saltash had Cattle Egret (2), Richards Pipit and an eastern race of Yellow Wagtail today!
Farms down here also had American Buff Bellied Pipit last year too!

Aren't farms Brilliant!

Marsh Farm which is right next to the River Crouch gets Lapwings, at the moment hundereds of Brent Geese, Woodpigeon and birds of prey in its fields.

Those are the sorts of birds you would expect on Farmland Jamie. Especially the Lapwings. Lets hope they have a successful breeding season there.
