With news of a Quail at Northrepps emerging, although disappointingly 6 days into its stay, I headed up to Hungry Hill this evening to try to locate it. Although there were numerous cereal fields in the area, an educated guess at its likely field quickly paid off as when whilst walking along the roadside it was heard singing only a short way into the barley. Over the course of the next half hour it gave a couple more bursts of song, and although as usual it offered no prospect of a glimpse, it was still a welcome new bird for the year.
