Field Notes

Description:

As I was walking along a track adjacent to a road which was concealed by bushes I heard a cyclist approach and a startled shape flew up from the other side of the bushes and into a pile of rocks ahead of me. I could not see it clearly but took some photos anyway and this is the result! It obviously hadn't seen me but could hear the camera! As soon as I moved it flew off.

Habitat:

Limestone hillside at edge of cultivation.
