Following the plough near Bourne, Lincolnshire
Seagulls appear to have an inter-com system to alert each other whenever a tasty meal of grubs and worms is available from winter ploughing for hardly had the first furrow been turned on this field between Bourne and Dyke village than a flock of them had arrived to start feeding. They were closely followed by a dozen or so pied wagtails and even an odd magpie but the most surprising visitor was a grey heron which stayed around for an hour or more to enjoy the feast but always keeping its own company, flitting backwards and forwards as the tractor drove past, a solitary and stately bird but one never to miss a free meal.
