....sculking little xxxx !
Few record shots from this morning,what a frustrating and difficult bird to try and photograph,hopefully we'll get a few better opportunities when the novelty has worn off.
I'd have traded some light for closer and longer views but then I guess that's the nature of the bird. Good point about strength in numbers and the more pairs of eyes the better,we'll have to get a bunch of "toggers" together and give it a go.
when Wader left it on Fri pm, it showed briefly about 4 more times on both sides of the hedge along a distance of c 100 yds until dusk but not a cat in hell s chance of a photo - you & Smudger did well to get what you have, it was a case of someone say "there it is" & it was gone again !

At least you had some light!
problem is Jeff, it will take a good number of people to find it!

Jeff, have you tried turning on your camera's autofocus yet?
Was reading the shite on Garry Bagpuss's website last night and didn't realise that I was part of a "crew" attending the CY twitch on Sunday a.m !
