Sitting in the car on the Patch.

Ebird List.

 

Little Bustard (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) male.

I decided to go down town to get a few bits and the called in at the fields on the way back, I parked and scanned the Lucerne fields and soon found the more territorial of the male Little Bustards (Sisón Común / Tetrax tetrax) who was strutting around and giving it Raspberry like call regularly.

Another male and 4 females.

Off to his left I found another 7 birds, two more males and 5 females, but they were much more chilled and just sat in amongst the Lucerne and other wildflowers resting.
