  It’s not one for C&C – I hate it. But if anyone knows what it is, I’d love to know. There’s stacks of them where I’m working. Some Curlews (I’m fairly sure) out on the grass in the mornings too.

  I’ve done work alright :-) These guys were about 100 yards away from the office. Looks like they’re there every day. A morning shot would be better because they come up from the rocks onto the ground beside the road. Unfortunately there’s not enough light for F5.6 in the mornings yet.
