Stone Curlew

Taken a couple of weeks back, on an early summer holiday to sunny Mallorca and very hot and sunny it turned out to be!
Stone Curlew, saw one as a brown lump in the distance, so kind of taken by surprise when one, then another appeared out in the open and fairly close to the hide...my only panic was that at the time my cf card was full, so had to change rapidly, but fortunately the pair stayed in view for quite a while, before disappearing back off into the vegetation - Mike
