Fields at East Fortune Taken from the entrance to a Caravan Club site, simply because I saw a buzzard perched and hope to get it on camera; failed! The East Coast Main Line runs in the dip between the grass field and the ploughed one - the electricity supply can just be seen. The red shed is at Brownrigg Farm.
