Ruff

Didn't have a walk today due to other commitments but a message came through on WhatsApp from Simon to say he'd seen a Ruff. I only had a few minutes so dashed to the overflow in the car and had a quick scan; nothing obvious so I called Simon who said it had been with the Lapwings on the mud. Sure enough it was there, though not easy to see. I rattled off a few photos and then had to dash back. Apparently it was still around later in the morning but not in the afternoon.
