What happened next...

And I thought the birds were all going to have a 'field' day. I should have known better. 48 hours later the machines were at work in the pea fields again.

The left-overs were trussed into rows and then quickly baled.

When the whole field was dotted with bales, these were wrapped in black plastic; the following day they were carted away..... doubtless to be used as silage for the cattle next winter.

Nothing wasted.

And the birds are all back scavenging for little bits might have been left behind.......
