Went for a walk this evening and heard then saw 2 Curlews fly straight over my head, had no idea curlews were around here, are they common ? i've only ever seen them in Scotland - made for a great evening anyway.

All the best
Hi Longshanks. Curlews can be common in the right habitat.

This one however was quite a bit larger than all others and had blue spots all over it!! Anyone an idea if this is unusual or if I have never looked that closely at them before? (I am a bit girly about handling his prizes).

I live on the Isle of Wight and have a small garden but get loads of wildlife from Badgers to loads of ladybirds. Looking forward to an interesting time.
Hi Floozie. Blue spots can appear on Sloworms as they get older.
