Larking about

Short Toed Lark-18th October.
The second attempt to see this bird after Joyce and I went down on the Sunday before only to be told it had been flushed by a dog 45 minutes before we arrived and it didn't reappear. So on Tuesday with no work, I tried again and it was in its favoured spot feeding in the car park, I did'nt even need to walk anywhere and had it to myself for  a while before a few other birders turned up. I have to admit though, a fairly non descript little bird ,and only so many photos I could take of it as it fed unconcerned within feet of me. Only the second I've seen after one on the Scillies a few years ago.
