Hops across the grass, stops, cocks its head and listens. Heads for cover at night, and when the rain or the wind gets up.
From our research
Fifth in the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch for 2026. It hunts by ear as much as by eye, stopping to listen for worms before it strikes, and it is the bird you see pulling an earthworm out of a lawn after rain.
