I had one or two more sightings, usually on the ridges above me and won't bore you with the even more distant record shots! On return to the ruins, I could see he had given me the runaround but was still just as far away!
You can always rely on the Wheatear to be more obliging! A real rarity this - no colour rings!
One bird you can't rely on to oblige normally is the Kestrel. This female was giving a show as good as it gets, almost following me around!
Caught low over the hillside....
In mid hover.....
Whilst hoping for the Black Redstart as I hid myslf by the ruins - I had to settle for the Kessie again!!
Two quality Shropshire birds on the day then and pretty good supporting cast, the bubble is bound to burst soon?
