Chelmarsh - Ruff finale

Never mind the Hobby, or the Lesser Spot - which was calling like a mad thing from the trees across the stubble field! Despite a long search after it had gone quiet, we couldn't nail it. Another treat was in store as a Ruff dropped in late afternoon.....

Preening - quite distant at first



Before starting to feed, coming ever closer!







Before it was in the 15m zone.....









Honest, it was THIS close......



Apparently it was still there first thing the following m0rning before being chased off by a fox!
