A male Pied Wagtail in the horse paddock next the barn.
To the north of the barn in the cattle field was what I believe to be a White Wagtail
And here is another possible White Wagtail in the horse field just south of the barn. Glad to be corrected!!
A female Wheatear.......
......a male Wheatear.......

In the grounds of the Reap Lane Barn was this partially hidden Chiffchaff.
