Nature note.

Breeding pairs of "Clerks of the Course" can be found all over the UK.
Usually a solitary breed, they are known to be shy and retiring.
Only one example is known in the Forest and for those that are patient it can be spotted near Whitecroft.
Mid afternoon is best as it is not known to be an early riser. Best photographed with a time lapse camera.
