A first for the gallery.



I had ignored going for this for ages but it was such a nice day I thought I would go. This is a very reclusive bird that never showed for more than a few seconds, and then usually where you didn't expect it to, so to even get a photo was a bonus. This one is heavily cropped but at least you can see what it looks like.

Photographed at a Rhiwderyn, near Newport, South Wales on 24/03/2012.
