We flushed this lovely, lethargic little bird from right under our feet on the way to watch otters on Mull, back in July. It only flew about 15 feet, and was not particularly perturbed by our presence. An hour and a half later, as we returned, the same thing happened, and approximately an hour later still, we flushed another(?) bird two miles away, from a roadside ditch as we passed in the car. Could it have been the same bird?
