Another absolute favourite bird that I only get to see when my travels take me to Scotland and the North of England. You can find them in Wales and in the South-West but I haven’t seen them there. You will also need to be in the right location -moorland and heathland - and the correct time of year as the migrate to the UK in early March and leave back for Africa in October.
