Second Chance

Missed the 2014 Northumberland Black-winged Pratincole... so it was a pleasant surprise to hear that the 2014 finder had found another in 2015.

Dashed to Bothal after work with many a text stating how well it was showing as it fed in the SE bay - upon my arrival it adopted a much less obliging routine - an hour or so on the far shore with a quick foray into the bay to feed...

Never mind - a nice county catch up.

My second pratincole sp in Northumberland (incidentally both collared and black-winged had been UK ticked on solo day twitches to Norfolk... now both have turned up within 10 mile of BSHQ... lesson learnt?)...

Awful pics...






Not as good as the 2009 bird...
