"No Dotterel today then? I tried various areas without any luck."

Me too Geoff. With the same result.
Started searching from the Commissioners Bank at 7am.
Moved onto check the Pea fields at Tetney, then the fields at Northcotes and Grainthorpe. Then I surrendered and retired to Manby for the Garganey.
