Brockington Farm: birds following the harrow Spring 2011 was a dry season across southern England.  Harrowing, on this April evening, was a dusty business.  The birds in the picture are rooks and black-headed gulls - moving in fast to feed on soil invertebrates (OK, worms !) brought to the surface as the soil is broken up.
