07:30 | male + juv. Moulting adult male with no doubt one of his fledged youngsters. Both viewable from a footpath. Park sensibly in the first part of Bennetts Lane allowing for farm machinery/ horse boxes, use the grass verges where you can. Take the footpath at the end of the lane straight ahead- due East, stay at the bottom of the field and cross it through the 'gate' into a small triangular field.

One of these was extremely vocal early morning and at one point they were calling to each other. It could easily be a female with her fledged youngster. | |||
