Well what a treat! We headed for Weeting Heath Nature Reserve in the vague hope of seeing one of these rare birds ...there are two nearby hides that over look a rough stony field. We went to the west hide where the Stone Curlews were clearly visible - lovely to spend some time just observing them wandering round doing what they do. For once they are a good news story with their numbers increasing thanks to conservation efforts. It is now estimated that there are 350 breeing pairs in the UK, compared to 150 in 1985.
