Spring Bank Holiday Wildlife 2019 010

            One from a Spring Bank Holiday weekend that I spent on the hill mostly. We had plenty of rain needless to say. I was quite luck early on Monday morning, I was looking for the snipe that I've been watching when a linnet flew in out of the blue-and the light rain, and landed in the field just over the wall from me and pulled the only daisy in the field to bits. I've never seen a linnet here before, it stayed for two minutes or less and then it was gone. I haven't seen one here since. I did get my snipe shots as well. There were lapwings everywhere performing acrobatics in the strong winds. It's hard to get sharp shots handholding a big 600mm lens in windy conditions. I also got some nice hare shots in the evening sun. I got a few shots of a heron that I've never seen before, I can tell from the colouring that it's new to me. The lapwings amongst the buttercups made for nice shots as well.
