Observation details
A lot of fun with these! After a minute of playing the call in likely habitat, I noticed a movement almost at our feet - and a chalky white face, staring eye and long curved bill popped up! A second bird with a buffier throat and more extensive streaking was also present, before both dived back onto cover. After this silent approach, one was signing for quite some time and stalked for another food view, before they went silent. An amazing ability to vanish into rank vegetation (mugwort, nettles, Enchanter's Nightshade etc - similar vegetation to overgrown agricultural edges in the UK, though much taller). Sound recordings made.
