I can hear a bird singing in the hedge by the lane, but where is it and what is it like? What type of bird is it? It's a robin. A little black eye is looking at me. I can see a red chest among the twigs. There aren't many leaves yet. This hedge is cut with a little machine. There's no cover for birds in hedges cut by a big machine. There's no hiding place. The roads should be wide for cars, therefore the hedges are cut. But there are some trees uncut by machine. However, they are shaped, formed by wind. The prevailing wind in Cornwall is a westerly wind, so the trees seem to lean towards the east. Growth is slower on the windward side, because it is drier.
