    My son was based at Kinloss at the time and we saw it a couple of times, he's moved now though, the army base(old RAF base) was a great place for wildlife, like a nature reserve.

    Sadly I have witnessed the loss of so many common place wildlife, a possible Corncrake was seen last week, I remember hearing those when they bred in Norfolk and kept us awake when on a caravan holiday. A dozen Bitterns booming in the reedbeds of the Norfolk Broads as late as the 1970's when...

    I'm old enough to remember them as breeding birds in Leicestershire where I grew up in the 1950's, we found the "larder " first, dead large beetles and a lizard impaled on a barbwire fence, the bird appeared some time later.
