Everyone else had given up and left..... and then by a twist of fate, I was eating a sandwich.... another birder arrived..... shut his car door.... and what should pop up then land in a viewable position from where it had been unseen all morning.... PURPLE HERON and (298) Punch the air or what!! Birds are all the more sweeter when you've spent a lot of time and effort :-)
After a while it relocated nearer the caravans!
Still tucked away in the vegetation but much more obliging!
Eventually having a preen and rest.....
A couple of closer crops to finish with!
A great day in the end and TWO to go.......
