White-tailed Lapwing. East Hide, Frampton Marsh RSPB, Lincolnshire. DSC_2709.jpg

            The "mega" vagrant from Central Asia that first showed up at Blacktoft Sands RSPB on the Yorkshire river Ouse on 26 August 2021, stayed for 4 months, before relocating around the Lincolnshire coast at Halton Marshes until early March, before again relocating to Frampton Marsh RSPB. It has not now been seen since Monday 4 April, midday.

I thought I'd post this as an alternative perspective to the 3 previous shots, which were mainly side / top views. This front view gives a nice awareness of the lovely banded colours across the neck and chest etc., though it's standing a bit close to the adjacent vegetation relative to my position in the hide and an eye highlight would have been nice... :-)

Thank you for your faves and comments, both much appreciated.
