Sitting in the hide at Cresswell trying to avoid the wind things were looking a bit bleak when a dark shadow passed overhead. The Bonxie hovered briefly over the panicing Coot in front of the hide before side slipping away.
A couple of circuits of the pond being hassled by Crows and putting most things to flight it eventually returned and made a reasonably close fly by.
An unusual visitor now present for two weeks although the gentleman next to me said it had a swollen right eye perhaps making it stay for the easy Coot pickings. Good job all my shots were from the left.
Also present 50+ Barnacle Geese which didn't land, 4 Grey Plover, Greenshank, Little Stint (dodgy pic above) Long tailed Duck and a Peregrine fly by. Nice.
