Was out at stanage after dark tonight and heard a bird with an odd sci-fi style wobbling call - hard to describe but very distinct. Any fucking ideas etc?
Sounds like a 'drumming' snipe. Bit like a goat? Actually comes from the tail feathers. Clip on here:http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/jun/08/birds.snipe

Found this in the garden...
Lizards basking in Dinorwig quarries and a Jay on the way back to the car over the weekend. Lovely blue feathers on the later.
Reed Bunting spotted in a friends garden in Lincolnshire over the weekend. First for me!Re Andy's Pex Hill sightings; I've seen[..] Kestrels there in the past. One time I walked in and there was a Kestrel sat in the break on Dateline Wall.
I was pretty brown, peregrine or buzzard.
