Yo Doods The two Valentinos’* are still on the scrape. When I arrived at Restharrow I knew the word had got out that the ibis were here by the number of jam jars* parked up on the side of the frog*. Ooooer missus, were Master Kaibosh and myself going to be able to squeeze in? Fortunately, there was a perch for us and we were able to see the birds quite clearly. Mind you, they were on the other side of the scrape and the light was a little tidderley bates, so a good smudge was out of the question. Fortunately, something disturbed the starling flock and lapwings, who then took up in a panicked crowd (lapwings are real drama queens). This sent the two glossies up and I was able to get a flight shot as they whizzed over the hide. Not the best of light but I was pleased with the silhouette which I post for your delectation. An added bonus was a brief appearance from the water rail who I managed to smudge as he darted into the water-logged reeds. As always your right and my left i jah de Q
