Checking one of the traps.

Before Dave and I went off to check the two traps he had put out we had a look at the sheet trap, whilst we were doing this I could hear at least 4 calling European Nightjars (Chotacabras Europeo / Caprimulgus europaeus) and a Little Owl (Mochuelo Europeo / Athene noctua).
