Stone Curlew stress

I know, it doesn't look terribly exciting. However, I heard about this bird on my way down to Dorset for the day and could turn back to see it. I had to wait about twelve hours before I returned to Bedfordshire and tick of my very first Beds Stone Curlew!

A stonking find by Richard Bashford and, luckily for me, it hardly moved an inch all day. I finally got to see it at dusk, hence the shite photo. Blimey it was a stressful day!
