In previous years we have been asked to give these birds a wide berth and not look for them, but now there are a few more pairs on the site we got the all clear, and although we missed what would have been the optimum day for finding some due to other monitoring taking place when we had booked to look for pulli, we at least managed this single chick today.
Stone Curlew chick
We also checked a Barn Owl box near by, finding 4 young that well be ready in four weeks or so. The parents were both in the box and the female captured, as she departed, and ringed.
Appropriate licences held for all ringed species.
