Nine Curlews and two Lapwing.

This afternoon there were at least nine Curlews and two Lapwings in an arable field and pasture that are near Endon Sewage Works. The Curlews were calling and feeding in both fields. Also of note, I saw a Willow Tit in trees alongside the disused railway near Deep Hayes Country Park, and what is now a regular sighting of a Buzzard using fence posts alongside Endon Brook from which to spot prey (presumable small mammals inhabiting the, currently, dormant tall herb vegetation which grows alongside the stream).
Four of the nine plus Curlews in a pasture.

Grazing animals with waders feeding alongside.
