We walked down to them. They were in the bushes half way down the field on the eastern side near the drainage channel. All 15 there fairly close together. Quite difficult to count them
They kept moving. One the brown ones has one eye nearly closed and wet. Could not get its number because it flapped it's s ear too much. Pasture pump ok and had a bit of water in it. Pumped more in. Fen dry by the gate but waterlogged by the bushes.
Heard, and saw thanks to a birdwatcher, a grasshopper warbler on a small bush in Ashley Meadows
