Undisclosed site - friday pm

7pm-9:30pm

Checked out a previous site for LEOs with Nick D.
2 different LEOs seen hunting from different but slightly overlapping sites. One perched on a fence post long enough for Nick to almost get his digiscope setup ready! No young heard.
Short eared owl seen catching prey and taking it to a presumed nest site in the heather.
3 kestrels.
1 grey heron.
Woodcock roding overhead - had 2 at once then 6 or so further sightings of a single bird.
2 male siskin song flight displaying.
Curlew, canada geese, meadow pipits, chaffinch.
1 greylag goose.
6 lesser black backed gulls - one stole an egg from a moorland nest (species unknown) and ate the contents.
Lapwing with well grown juveniles - about 2/3rds adult size.
Oystercatchers with well grown juveniles.
