Well, considering it was ‘blowing a hoolie’ on Saturday and we were on an exposed headland, I’m quite pleased with the pictures I got of this Chough!
It was so windy, birds generally were largely taking cover on the ground. Many were perfectly plain as we walked along the paths - mindful not to disturb them, although the choughs certainly didn’t seem to think they needed to extend the courtesy the other way! A pair landed practically at our feet. They were almost blowing over, and I was struggling to hold the lens steady, so delighted the shots came out as well as they did. And nice to see a bit of Polly Joke sand in the background.
