A Ruff at the Flashes
It was Microwyred (Dave) and my lucky day. After a quiet snooze at the Moors we headed for the Flashes.
As entered the hide John B pointed out a ruff ...... it was a spec in the distance (must get an 800mm lens!) But our luck was in and it flew across and dropped down in front to the Hide
Dave
PS Have a restful day off tomorrow John
