Quail.

I went up yesterday evening for a look. All was quiet, though it was rather windy.

Regards, Chris

It was still there at about 4.30 yesterday Chris -heard but not seen, in spite of the wind. Also a couple of groups of Twite feeding.

Not heard tonight (Monday), but a group of 12 Twite

I'd 2 groups of 6 & 8 Twite up there on Saturday, I guess feeding on the wavy Hair Grass? By the way, as Roger has rebuked me for today, I should have said Quail calling!
