johnny Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 It flies like a snipe but it’s a bit bigger and there are about 6 on this field all close together in a flock? Not very good pictures. If they are snipe I’ve never seen a group together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted September 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Wow thanks, be farming 35yrs and never seen them before. The last 2 yrs we have left a 2ac nesting plot for them. Thought the badgers and foxes would mop them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving a plot for Golden Plover in lowland UK is pointless as they only nest in upland places like the Pennines. You may though be rewarded by other ground nesting birds like Lapwings.
