7.30 pm  -  15.04.19  - At least 66 Curlew feeding in a boggy field next to the road to the Little Mill - a small, additional flock flew off to neighbouring fields so unable to count all of them.

Nice sight- probably a migrating party calling in to feed.

One male Sparrowhawk hunting low (at dusk) over a sedge grass field and dropping into the grass, ostensibly for Snipe. These birds were flushed but chased unsuccessfully.
At least 25 birds were flushed and they all fled to neighbouring fields.
