Damien Enright: Yellow fields evoke the canvases of modernist Mondrian

Buzzards are returnees. Extinct in the late 1800s, they slowly began recolonisation in the 1930s, writes Damien Enright

May is here, and everything is in flower. Looking down from a plane on continental Europe, one would think a bright yellow mould infects the land. It’s not mould; it’s fields of flowering rape seed. In Ireland, we prefer grass and cows.
