A very familiar sight Nick. I can remeber my dad ploughing fields when I was young, - there was always a steady stream of opportunistic birds behind the tractor. His tractor was a lot more basic than this though!
Well captured. HFF and have a good weekend. Happy New Year to you

Yes the size of tractors in our youth compared to the large powerful tractors of today!!!
Thank you Carole & a Happy New Year to you too ~~~

Lots of insects flee from the tractor and become a feast to the birds! Belated HFF and Happy New Year, Nick!

Thank you Dimas & a Happy New Year to you too ~~~

Sorry I missed this the other day Nick. A typical day out with the tractor. Well done.

Belated HFF.

All the Best for 2024. Herb

Thank you Herb & a Happy New Year to you too ~~~

Following the plough. Gulls are great opportunists. Some of the tractors that go through our village are like juggernauts. The roads round here are just not built to take such loads.
When will the HS2 junction see some positive action do you think?
HFF dear Nick and enjoy the weekend.

Good morning dear LGM/ There is no HS2 junction as such. Firstly I had missed off the number 17 which is the nearest M25 road junction to the area west of it by a few miles at the point HS2 tunnels underneath the M25 at the start of a very long tunnel under the Chilterns including Chalfont St Peter and on to Amersham and beyond.
I wish you a happy 2024 and whilst hoping it will be a peaceful year for all of mankind, that seems an ambition too far

Thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

You are welcome

Very well captured Nick. The gulls know where the pickings are! They seem to come further and further inland!!

Wishing you a Happy New Year with much happiness and good health.
All the best, Rosa.

Thank you Rosa, the gulls go where there are easy picking I guess. Welcome back and a big thank you for your good wishes. I,in turn ,wish you all the best in 2024
