Skylark on the nest

Impressive !

 

Is that taken by a camera on a stand operated by remote control ?

or did you actually stalk it with a hand-held ?

 

either way, finding a skylark's nest is a real test of observation and fieldcraft.

That was taken with my mobile 'phone believe it or not!

Cheers Sean, yep, Ajax was working like a Trojan that day but it was teamwork, I'd spent half a morning narrowing the field of search down!

 

Here's another one I took today of a different nest...they look a bit like flowers but those four bundles of joy are thinking I'm Mum! Now you see 'em...

 

 

Now you don't!

Lovely stuff Nick; no pics cos I never found the nest - (didn't look too hard, I was expecting them to be schedule 1) but I came a cross a pair of Nightjar obviously sat tight at the nest-site while out looking for Dragons yesterday afternoon, the female flew up when I was about 10 feet away but the male waited even longer - I hadn't seen either of them before they flew, but was quite surprised at where they had chosen, right beside an overgrown woodland stream, it's definitely not somewhere I would have gone to watch them.

Pretty much the full set now!...presumably more eggs to come...
