Nice one Stuart!

Wow,well captured Stuart!

Thanks guys! This was the only pic in the album I actually took myself, although even then its been artificially enhanced as it was very nearly dark.

The bird itself was great, it was so close to to the bank but didn't seem to mind observers. Think it stuck around for nearly two weeks before it flew off. It had very noticeable rings on its legs and was traced back to southern Spain. Not sure where it headed next though!
