Martindown

Rosie and I spent a few hours at Martindown on Sunday and it was alomst totally deserted. Bokerly Dyke runs alongside it; there is a good deal of history to the region.

There were plenty of skylarks about with large areas fenced off to prevent disturbance to their nests during the summer. Poor Rosie got an electric shock from one fence and wimpered sadly while I watched the stonechats on the other side. Other birds included lapwings and plenty of gulls feeding in the adjacent fields which had been recently ploughed. The hegdes were still full of crimson berries and I imagine will be sustaining the birds for several weeks to come.
