That's fab Snappy. Only ever seen them playing chicken along the verges!

Oh .....Nice , never seen one

See them now and again when I walk the lanes. Mainly in the winter. Nice one Snappy.

Thanks PB. These were in the field at the side of the entrance road to the reserve. Took the photo from the car.
