Curlew

My first year-ticks for a while in the last couple of days. Yesterday a Hobby zipped through the farm and today a Curlew passed over the Watchpoint mid-morning. Also today a Whinchat (also saw one yesterday, possibly the same bird... possibly even the same bird as in the previous post here), a heard-only Lesser Whitethroat - another year-tick (coming from an out-of-bounds area), three Red Kites flying over loosely together quite low, three Wheatears.
