Not sure how this species is doing nationally but round here they are regulary seen.
I generally see up to four on my local patch but yesterday I spotted eleven, which is remarkable.
Often see them in several other places round here.
My local patch is a drained moss with a couple of small woods. Generally its wall to wall sheep fields but there's also an extensive number hedges and ditches on the edges of the fields.
Generally there's little disturbance in the fields apart from the sheep, a few cows and farmers ocassionally working them.
