I am catching up with your scarecrow pictures and think them fabulous....and of course as soon as I read Aker Bilk there was only one tune that immediately came into my head!

[JackieR]

Yup, that's what my brain played without seeing your link

[Wylie]

Another goodie

[Suzanne]

The town must be overwhelmed with scarecrows!

@ankers70 Hayling Island is an island, surrounded by water. Looking at its north to south orientation, it is shaped like an inverted T, about 6.5 km (4 miles) long and 6.5 km (4 miles) wide. With a population of 17.000. Not all scarecrows are obvious but being flat it is easy to get about to find them.

I am so familiar with that song, but never knew the artist’s name before. Thank you so much for that information. This one is really special.

Thankyou for the explanation. Me being terminally curious, I had to look up Hayling Island and the scarecrow festival. Sounds like a lot of fun. @wakelys

[Carole Sandford]

Yes, that’s what my brain said too. One of Dad’s favs!

[Shutterbug]

Thanks for including the tune to remind me of who it is.

I recognized the song too. I guess I never knew who played it. Fun scarecrow.
