I fear the answer is spending far too much extra time at work. July and September are really busy and there is little time available for days off (though I did manage to squeeze in Birdfair \ud83d\ude42 in August). Working later in the evening means little time to get to my patch unfortunately. Though I did manage a few short trips in July&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>July 3rd &#8211; I took a short walk around the top end of the field encountering,&nbsp;1 swallow,&nbsp;3 woodpigeon and&nbsp;11 starlings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>July 12th&nbsp;&#8211; tonight there was a rabbit on the track at the side of field. I am yet to see a rabbit IN the field!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3537\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hlbphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/WaterEatonJuly2017-22-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.hlbphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/WaterEatonJuly2017-22-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.hlbphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/WaterEatonJuly2017-22-399x300.jpg 399w, http:\/\/www.hlbphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/WaterEatonJuly2017-22.jpg 482w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>July 17th&nbsp;&#8211; this evening I took a walk around the edge of part of the crop. I wanted to see what other plants were growing. I hadn&#8217;t gone too far from the house when Billy decided to join me, I always hear a meow before I see him!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I found thistles, brambles, camomile and a few other plants and grasses that I am having problems identifying! A white plume moth, a red solider beetle and a red admiral.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are tracks through the crop that I&#8217;m guessing are either foxes, deer or both. 1 woodpigeon and&nbsp;6 swallows&nbsp;flew over.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>July 19<sup>th<\/sup> &#8211; I was stood in the garden of the owners house looking again for any birds still nesting, when out flew a house sparrow carrying a feacil sac from under the roof tiles, I could hear the chicks chirping \ud83d\ude42 There were also&nbsp;15 Swallows over the field.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>July 20th&nbsp;&#8211; Roe deer and&nbsp;3 swallows tonight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>July 25<sup>th<\/sup> &#8211; The tree bumblebees appear to have gone from the facia board and I have seen the collard dove with the broken beak who is still feeding.<\/p>\n<p>While looking out over the field from the gate 11 swallows flew by.&nbsp;I&#8217;ve started to notice that rooks and crows fly back over the field at dust to roost in nearby trees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><!-- index.php -->\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview ngg-ajax-pagination-none\"\n\tid=\"ngg-gallery-1c01ba232965a970f4fe70aa40db5846-1\">\n\n    \t<div
