There seem to be at least 4 pairs\u2014maybe more\u2014it is hard to tell. One nest is fairly close to the road\u2014or at least one male disappears into the grasses there often enough to make me suspicious. It is a race against the farmer, as always. Will the young fledge before mowing? Only time will tell. This male does not seem to be worried about it much. Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 Contemporary. About 600mm equivalent field of view.
