They were here the year we moved in, but until two years ago I've not seen or heard any here.
Now they're properly back. I know where 5 nests are and put up a marking stick so the neighbors don't tractor over them.
They're really good about making space for wildlife, but the wheat is just getting high enough that they might not see a nest in time.
The annual scarecrow game is on, too. They put one up, the rest of us sneak up and steal it to plant elsewhere, usually in sight, but once or twice on top of a chimney or the church roof. They retrieve it and plant it back in it's field, ready for the next adventure.
We are all agreed that it does nothing to scare the birds but we all enjoy playing the game.
It's the marsh that does it. We're all a bit strange....
