 Common Crane Caldecott Lane

During our sea watch break I joined AJG in short trip to Caldecott Lane, where the Common Crane now resides. The little Owl showed well along with Yellow Wagtails, Corn Buntings, Reed Buntings and my first Red-legged Partridge of the year which is now getting very scarce on the peninsular.
