Below, the plough lines on the Parwich open field, the Wings, contrast the medieval elongated ‘s’ shaped ridge and furrow to the left with the dead straight ‘modern’ ridge and furrow created by steam ploughing.

The weekend of 24/25th January sees the RSPB’s Big Garden Bird Watch; those wishing to take part can find out more and register by clicking here.
The RSPB say:
Bird populations are a great indicator of the health of the countryside. That’s why it’s so important to take part in surveys like Big Garden Birdwatch to keep an eye on the ups and downs of the wildlife where we live.
All you need to do is spend an hour over the weekend of 24-25 January counting the birds in your garden. It’s that simple!
However, we wondered if there was any interest in doing a Big Ballidon/Alsop/Parwich/Pikehall Bird Watch the same weekend? Let us know your thoughts by commenting on this post or emailing parwich@hotmail.co.uk .

Buzzard with a broken wing
Posted in Ornithology, Out & About, People, Photography on Saturday September 27, 2014| 4 Comments »
Welcome to Parwich to Lynn C and family, it is always good to have new contributors:
My son and his girlfriend were climbing at Cheedale (Wye Valley) yesterday and found a young buzzard with a broken wing at the base of the cliff. With only a blue IKEA bag to capture and carry the buzzard, they beat a hasty retreat back to McMurtry & Harding in Ashbourne. We thought people may like to see a close up shot of the bird. We are waiting to hear how the buzzard recovers.
