Sunday 2nd November 1980
From a Nature Diary, writer unknown:
2nd November [1980]. Went out for ride out to Warminster-Westbury way. Saw group of ten or so pheasants in corner of a field. A kestrel with sunlight feathering through his wings & tail hovered over the road. And saw a great field full of Lapwings, only the white on their heads & bodies showing like white pebbles. Found a toadflax still flowering in full glory on chalk downs.
