I like watching the young coveys on the stubbles after harvest. I saw a late clutch end of September that were only golf/tennis ball sized, presumably a second clutch.

Arry 18,510 Posted November 22, 2017 Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 I would go for the Curlew calling Pigeon clapping its wing coming out of a hedge. Black bird sing its heart out. A Wren singing or telling you off because you are getting a bit handy to its nest. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those and Woodcock (which we don't see very many of unfortunately). I hear stories of back in the old days, before the onset of modern agriculture when the local farmers shoots could go out and shoot English into three figures such was the wild stock! If I had the resource I'd love to manage a couple thousand acres exclusively for partridges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I had the resource I'd love to manage a couple thousand acres exclusively for partridges. Disturbed a Woodcock yesterday morning at dawn. At least my dogs did. Somebody will make a fortune if they can video a Woodcock carrying its young. That's if they do do that. Would love to see it. Was reading yesterday that there is a record of a Great Tit killing a Goldcrest and carrying it away in its feet. ( AA RSPB The Complete Book of British Birds) Really? I think the guy that recorded had been on the magic mushrooms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
