More early morning WHIMBRELS and nesting RAVENS

GOOD FRIDAY (22 APRIL) At just after 6:05am two WHIMBRELS flew in and circled round, thinking about landing but never managing it. After about 15 minutes they eventually disappeared off in a southerly direction. The ploughed field had two Wheatear present and one or two COMMON RAVENS were flying in from west of Drayton Beauchamp and back out that way with full crops – suggesting there is a nest out that way. Two male Wigeon are also still lingering (Roy Hargreaves)
