I reckon I'm really lucky, out the back of my own home I have four very large fields to overview from the landing, and in the summer I can only see two as the trees leaves obscure the nature within one whole field and part of another, so often I can say what I hear but cannot see, but when I visit my in-laws I have a terriffic view, from the top of the hill we can see right over to Widemouth Bay, and all the villages in between, but you need a really strong magnification to see the contents of the fields beyond the first half dozen, but the beauty of it is the sheer clarity of the air down there. Where street lighting is starting to disrupt the night sky, but you can watch the air force and their jets doing their low flying and look into the cockpit and see the pilot, quite fascinating! But also very noisy, and you do have to be very quick to see much, no good trying to take a digital picture, a case of there it was gone! I must admit I have seen some really beautiful sights from that window, and my first ever buzzard was on the road from Bude to Wadebridge, it Buzzed our car and hubby nearly crashed it from shock, but that was a good few years ago now, and they are ten a penny nowadays, the kestrels are less common now.
