I know part of it is fenced off due to subsidence that's where I found a pair of Stonechat had bred about ten years ago.
Next time I see the farmer at Nebraska Wetlands will ask him about Risby cos he told me he keeps sheep there. Never know he might give me ride in his pickup with sheepdog lol.

Risby Common: 12:45

Last time I visited was about 7 years ago and it was an haven for butterflies, main reason for visit.  This time the grass was four feet high bar the track, I didn't venture over gate, in distance could see best part of hundred either pig or chicken pens but no animals, all I saw was tractors in fields before gate and a load of whites, no wonder no one posts owt.

Another one changed, still accessible but only just for an old one, plenty of big brambles for a pie, but I can't eat them, so left.

To hot to count the birds CG - Cormorants, Mute Swans, Canada /Greylags kicking up a row lol, gulls and assorted ducks.

Then went to my Local Patch (read that section)
