Was at Whisby Bank Hol weekend and saw one reasonably well. The one I saw was just before you come to the bridge over the railway, also heard it there again next day. Only 4 there this year apparently so not a good year for them. Off to Highnam woods tonight to catch up with them again (lot nearer home).

The glass is half full, but the bottle is empty.
Good luck at Whisby, it's my local patch and this is the worst year as long as I can remember. Days and days of cold easterlies have had a bad effect on a site where, normally, there are 10 to 12 singing males at the end of April.
Although I've not been there for a few years the LWT reserve at Kirkby Moor was pretty good for woodlark

That's in the wrong direction for Blacktoft but another good LWT reserve which you could sweep up is Messingham Sand Pits.
Good luck.
