More Quails

I was up at the crack of dawn on Sunday morning having heard the day before of three Quails singing at Sugar Loaf Farm, Sugar Loaf Lane, Iverley.

I arrived at 06.00. As soon as I got out of the car I could hear one of the birds singing in a grass field adjacent to a horse paddock.

Again, like the birds at Handkerchief Barn (probably the same birds relocating), it was impossible to see the bird. It was, though, such a glorious summer morning and a pleasure to be there listening to its 'wet-my-lips' song along with a Skylark in full song overhead.

After a while, I decided to take a public footpath off Sugar Loaf Lane which heads towards the A451 and comes out at the Crown pub, Iverley. Just a short way along, I came across some poppies on the edge of a field. They were so eye-catching in the morning sun with their deep red petals and black centres as they swayed in the light breeze. I couldn't resist getting the camera out and taking a few shots.
