Today at Field // a little sad to find my residency spot like this // some of the toxic ragwort has been removed, but so unceremoniously / careless that this has taken down all of the medicinal plants too // I know from visiting here for over two years that these grasses will recover and regrow in no time // a timely reminder that nothing stays the same for long // much of the grass has been cut elsewhere on the field - it’s all dried up now being a fire hazard // a wake / soar / kettle / husk (all variations on their collective noun!) of six kites are hunting over the mowed fields - a number I’ve never seen here before! They are taking advantage of the disturbance making their prey more accessible - there are mice here for sure, other small animals too perhaps // a reminder to self to write that long overdue post on grasses // moss softness // home made coffee afternoon // #field #selfdirectedresidency #kites #birdsofprey (at Lake Farm Country Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CScNxYiokG8WnzW1VrEejf5uGXYgweeg7mFE_E0/?utm_medium=tumblr
