Hi Little Sparrow
That is good timing. Just wanted to say thanks as i got the Black Grouse Lekking in the exact place you said. The bonus was there was a Woodcock right in front as well, also a few Whimbrel . Had a great day and thanks again. Will bump into you one day. I get up to Prestwick quite a lot. Did you get instructions where to see the Tawny Owl? If not let me know as i've seen it a few times. An account of my day at Langdon Common and pic. of Woodcock is on my blog if you are interested. sedgedunumwarbler.blogspot.com
Good luck and thanks again
John
