IT Is often that you see a raptor impersonating a wader, but so it was at Cleethorpes at the weekend.
A
sparrowhawk was sampling life as a redshank -albeit unsuccessfully
because of the length of its tail which dragged in the water.
The exercise took place in a large area of standing water on the Pleasure Island overspill car park
Later the same bird feigned being a duck before deciding to settle on having a good bath.
Part of its strange antics were watched in fascination by a couple of carrion crows.

| Life as wader . . . |
 | |
| Or as a duck . . . |
 |
| Or it just wanted a good bath! |
 |
| Whatever- the episode soon started to attract an audience of intrigued carrion crows |
