Two raptors that did not feature in our WEBS count - we spotted these two with goshawks on their wrists, totally illegally, on Broomhill Burrows. We were 1500m away in the hide. I've redacted their faces so as not to cause problems for the blog. If anyone knows who they might be, please contact either the NT (Mark Underhill, George Mee) or me. I can send unredacted photos.

They could account for the absence of the usual curlew on the dunes that we were expecting. It's also a regular feeding area for chough.
PS I'm grateful to Rob Davies for identifying the birds as....goshawks, post corrected accordingly. So probably after pheasants or rabbits. In my defence they were nearly a mile away!
