As I was passing through the area decided to stop between showers for a bit of a look around my old BBS area. Plenty of Corvids feeding on the ground and a big group of Linnets and Chaffinches flitting about. As expected several Yellowhammers were also seen in the hedgerows.

Hobby, appearing to be hunting insects, over the fields in my BBS square (SJ7188)early this afternoon - seen during family walk. Also Sparrowhawk cruising around a little later.

Had a walk around my BBS square (SJ7188) this morning in order to familiarise myself with the route. Wish that I had put my thermal gear on
Of note I found 10 Yellowhammers including 4 singing males.
