          Guy, I have often thought about why it is so attractive, and not just to Yellow Wagtail, but Pied, Meadow Pipits, and Starlings,and corvids.
          It’s approximately 400 acres of closely cropped Saltmarsh, 500 sheep and their manure attract insects, it’s crisscrossed by channels and gulleys, there’s also the farms themselves offer plenty of insects, they have hundreds of dairy cattle.
          It may have something to do with its location, openness…
