This morning my Dad and I made the 2 and a half hour journey up to Shelford, Nottinghamshire for the juvenile Long-Tailed Skua that had been present the week before. On arrival the bird was distant feeding on insects etc apart from a couple of times where it flew up past the crowd giving excellent views. Whilst waiting for the Skua to give a better view and allow a photo opportunity we found a very confiding Wheatear.
And finally the skua landed near to the path allowing time for a photograph and a nice view, we then left for home at about 5.45pm with some pleasing photos.
Wheatear in the same field as the LTS.
