Goodness me, like Dave I had to hunt for the first one and if you hadn't have said it was a pair, I never would have seen the second. Camouflage at its best, well spotted! Posted 9 years ago

  Thanks Claire.
  What i didnt realise was the bird in the foreground is actually nesting. I went back a few times over the next week and the birds had changed positions but there was always one sitting in the same spot. Posted 9 years ago
