What a stunning early morning light, great for overviewing this site, and for photography.
So much activity seen with migrant Wheatears and Whitethroat present along with common resident species singing and gathering nesting materials.

Linnet at Deopham collecting nesting materials from muck-heap (probably animal hairs) |
The highlighted list above includes a singing Whitethroat and Reed Bunting, visiting Yellowhammer, Pied Wagtail, and visiting pairs of Linnets. One Linnet was watched collecting nesting materials from the muck-heap, these appeared to be fine animal hairs.
This small habitat within a vast expanse of arable proves just shows how these wonderful habitats are a magnet for visiting/passing migrants, and for resident species alike...magical experience.
