We are lucky to have Curlew breed...Good evening Tim<br />We are lucky to have Curlew breeding here in the Brecks, because they are essentially a bird of upland Britain. Outside of the Brecks they are a bird of passage, or a winterer.<br />I am still yet to see Stone Curlew Tim, however, I am sure they are out there somewhere, and as for Whimbrel, I usually see them as a passage bird in May, or in Autumn...heard first usually giving their call which gives them colloquial name of "Seven Whistler"<br /><br />I am very pleased to read of your Tawny Owls Tim, a wonderful bird usually heard and not seen, and you have them on film...a superb record to treasure of a stunning Owl.<br /><br />I have heard today that the Norwich Cathedral Peregrines have laid their first egg, something I think that Norwich, and Norfolk folk are proud of.<br />You also keep well Tim<br />Paul.The Breckland Birderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00203400040384205222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8538774386836120846.post-59121917535153344822015-03-21T12:36:01.926-07:002015-03-21T12:36:01.926-07:00Evening Paul....
nice list... a goodly sized parce...Evening Paul....<br />nice list... a goodly sized parcel of Starlings... and a Curlew... I love that call!<br />The Stone Curlews get close with their "Wikileak" call... <br />but nothing makes a call like a curlew...<br />the Whimbrel has an evocative call... <br />but not with the "power" of the curlew.<br /><br />We now have good video of the Tawnys at their nest box...<br />we will keep monitoring to see when the male increases the number of voles...<br />and then when both start feeding.<br /><br />About an hour ago... just as it was getting too dark to see easily...<br />we were overflown by some 400+ Jackdaws, accompanied by some Crows...<br />never had such a number before... the noise was tremendous!<br />Lovely sight.<br />Keep well, keep recording...Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.com
