Collard Pratincole

Another capture here of this very rare visitor to our shores, and the first seen here at Lakenheath fen. It hunts the skies for insects ,including Dragonflies much like a swift, and can cover a huge area in no time. A joy to watch, albeit mostly from afar. A Black winged Pratincole was around the North east last week, and one of these stayed at Minsmere for a few weeks last year, so fingers crossed.
