Curlew "au natural"

MaggieD and I went hunting the elusive egret again today and we did manage to catch sight of it. However, by the time we had parked up and run back, the egret had flown. Bl@@dy thing!
So sadly you are getting a photo of this curlew or "whaup" in about the same place.
Then the rain came on and we got wet. How we suffer for our art!
