Dundee Mega - Just!

A six-hour round-trip almost ended miserably, but the bird in question saved the day and appeared at the 11th hour - again - and enabled me to add yet another lifer to my British list. Not the most spectacular birds (or the most salubrious of surroundings - a retail park in Dundee!), but a great bird to get nonetheless. I had arrived too late (it was a creature of crepuscular habits) and therefore had to wait four hours for it to come back in to roost. Anyway, it arrived just as I was heading back to the car, and I turned back at the right time to see follow twitchers watching it through bins. Grabbing my camera, I give it my nest shot; amazingly, it was the first image I took that proved to be the best - the only one in focus in fact! The bird in question? My first ever 'British' Eurasian Crag Martin.
