Cedwyn did a fine job with his strimmer cutting a lawn for us to walk along. We put the nets up so that our pole holding pipes could be put in the correct places but didn't try to catch any birds because it was very windy. There weren't many birds about but we did see a peregrine fly low over the field.
The crop looked better than it has for several years with lots of sunflowers and chicory in flower. It won't be long until hundreds of finches arrive to feast on the seeds.
The project at the farm is run with the Glamorgan Bird Club and funded by Natural Resources Wales.
The morning ended with us taking in the vivid colours of the crop while eating scones with strawberry jam and cream provided by Becky.
