@Crane_Spotter I record Woodlarks all year round most visits on farmland south of Crawley,I’d say more common locally then Skylark.
Same on fields around Weir Wood res,singing Woodlarks no Skylarks.

Anyone else detecting an increase in Woodlarks this year? Not just on Surrey heaths but, here in Cranleigh, singing from many fields towards the W Sussex border

@GibsonTomgibo Amazing Thomas! is it just me or are LSW drumming less nowadays which makes them even harder to track down.
I find more now calling/inflight/ and sitting atop dead trees then I hear drumming.
English
A selection of the 10 Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers seen yesterday. Only 2 drummed and only 1 of those for any duration, most calls heard were a weak short laugh, 3 of the birds were seen in pairs, one pair was interacting with a 3rd bird. They are ready to breed.
