A wet and windy walk out west was mostly for exercise. Scanning a distant area I always scan for stone-curlews, I finally got lucky and spotted one. The bird walked slowly and deliberately up the slope, and I realised there was a second one there.
We hadn't seen stone-curlews for a couple of years, so they made our day. Five wheatears and a pair of mistle thrushes were elsewhere on the downs, and a whitethroat and a willow warbler were heard singing. One swift and one swallow flew over.
