They make a very strange noise, like tuning an old radio.

[maxthecollie]

Their call is " peewit" hence the name peewit or lapwing

No 2 is a Reed Bunting
The RSPB: Reed bunting

For the last 3 years they have been resident at the top lodge on the Coppice.

Home - Ducks Unlimited Canada

And, along with my good friend Molly, a fine retriever if ever there was one, I'm a duck hunter. I understand that it might seem like an irony to many, but here in Canada, hunters and fishermen are at the forefront of those working to protect our wildlife and wildlife habitats, which many of us consider our greatest national treasure, much more important than Rob Ford and Justin Bieber
