The crop is just starting to germinate. The house at the centre-left of the image is at SU205734. The mast on the skyline must be fairly new as it does not yet appear on the maps.

Sheep and lambs, Southend, near Marlborough
I'd stopped at this point as I'd spotted a buzzard. The buzzard had long gone by the time I had my camera ready. These nearby sheep were making a lot of noise and, when they saw me, came running towards me, presumably hoping for food. Unable to oblige I'm afraid. There was a pile of earth in the corner of the field, which the sheep seemed to enjoy using as an adventure playground.
