There has been a spring-like feeling in the last few days, with warmer weather and even a bit of sunshine, so I decided to restart the Holderness walks. I still have 32 villages and hamlets remaining to visit, including most of the most isolated, and hardest to reach by public transport. Today it was mild, a bit breezy, and dry and I started with a very easy one, Coniston, a tiny village with a pub and a derelict chapel, which is by the A165 road and has a bus stop. From the village I walked to the Hull to Hornsea railway trail at Swine station and then to Sutton. The landscape is flat, with large arable fields edged with hedges and or ditches. There were plenty of Yellowhammers, some on territory starting to sing, although there was a flock on a field of stubbles near Swine with some Reed buntings. Skylarks provided much of the soundtrack of the walk.
