As we very slowly emerge from the cold winter, the lengthening days are now encouraging wildlife to become more active. Hares can be seen across the fields boxing each other in the fight for territory and mates. There have been some early leverets but many of them will have died in the harsh conditions. This past week the Green Woodpecker or 'Yaffle' has been particularly vocal as he shouts out his home range. Nearby the Great Grey Shrike, which we first found before Christmas, has been giving great views nearby from increasing numbers of birdwatchers.
