Spring has arrived in Friars Oak Fields, and while the Rydon Homes planning application is being considered by Mid Sussex District Council, the blossom is amazing on the hedgerows all around the fields. A kestrel was hunting in the fields this evening; I saw it stoop several times, pouncing on prey on the ground, so obviously plenty of it about.
