and it was about to end with the same bird but showing much better! I'd sat on a stone by the coast path and it flew to within 15m of me - mostly hidden from view but giving tantalising glimpses....
Eating ants in the grassy mounds and eventually it was in the open.....
I was almost dying to trim the few annoying grass stems!!
Ultra close views in the end :-)
But the most satisfying image was from the earlier encounter? It perched up in the nearby brambles....
Realising I couldn't make a decent image? I opted to sit and wait - it would soon be flying out! Setting the camera on manual focus, as soon as it flew, I fired a burst - the first two images were keepers :-) Not perfect but if you like a little bit of wing blur, they add to the dynamics of the take off?
