The hedgerow along the Bellasis road was alive with a\u00a0 good number of Linnets,\u00a0 Goldfinches,Yellowhammers, Whitethroats and 3 singing Lesser Whitethroats. A tree held a noisey nest of young Buzzards ,with the adult soaring above . More singing Skylarks were enjoyed ,with 15 noted during the ride. Several farms had Tree Sparrows in decent numbers and Swallows were common. 7 Sand Martins were at the bridge. While there, a flash of blue as a Kingfisher sped past.<\/p>\n<p>2 Curlews called at Tranwell airfield and another Buzzard here.
