Chough, Heysham, Lancs

[Lockhart]

Had to spend the weekend in North Lancashire, and managed a whole hour of birding today.  That was enough to connect with this character, who was feeding about 400 metres from a place where I worked in the Noughties (for those thinking about visiting, find the Half Moon Bay Cafe at Heysham, and the chough was feeding in an adjacent field).  Light was dreadful; camera was at ISO800, F5.6 and still struggling with motion blur due to the bird's movement.
