I had the feeling that something was very fishy with the disappearing wildlife in my area of Sussex. I headed north out of my village for about 5 miles and found the area rich in wildlife. It was farming country but animals and not cereals as it is close to home. I saw many small birds and of course there were raptors like the common buzzard above.I have come to the conclusion that the difference in farming methods was to blame. In this new area there were no crops just animals with large wooded areas. This area backs on to the Knepp Castle estate. The owners renowned for their rewilding prodject. In the future this is the direction I will be spending my time.
Nice one. Good to see you happy again. Look forward to seeing what you find there.

The area that I have found I thought it was private but I have found public pathways cross it. Walkers are most welcome. Stay safe, Mike.
DeleteI'm absolutely delighted that you have found a new and more productive area Mike. I hope that your Buzzard image is the first of many more super wildlife images from your new find. Take great care - - - Richard
ReplyDeleteI am delighted too Richard, I had to go that way today and had a look and saw tawny owl, red kite and fallow deer so it really does look good. Stay safe, Mike.
DeleteI'm off to Greece. Back soon Mike. Get out on your new patch when you can.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Phil and mind you don't slip on all that grease.
