Shades of the Black-winged Stilt! Another mega for the county and my luck goes awol but I offer no excuses - I went, I saw, I ticked a Pallid Harrier on the Long Mynd. That ought to mean 'success' for this post...
Two relatively close passes on my 'second encounter' resulting in 'images'! Spoilt by heat haze and distance!
The 'first encounter' below had shades of a Pantomime with the shout "its behind you"! Thanks Chris! Much closer but the 'moment' was lost...
Never mind, I could have come away with nothing quite easily. Thank goodness John Martin had the sense to go walking and drop on the Harrier where I stayed still. Well done John, Cracking image!
