CURLEW briefly at Wilstone

I inadvertently flushed a EURASIAN CURLEW off the jetty in the early morning gloom. It did a couple of circuits of the reservoir before eventually dropping in to the grass field behind the jetty. Unfortunately it flew off again (strongly towards Startops) when I moved along the bank to view (even though it was in the furthest corner of the field from the jetty) (Ian Williams)
