Happy with life on the coast at Cleethorpes |
This shorelark has been a long-stayer over winter on the beach at Cleethorpes in North East Lincolnshire.
First seen in November, it was still present at least until February 14.
Curiously, it seemed to form a bond of affection with a skylark - the two birds were inseparable for most of that period.
If another skylark arrived nearby, it would be summarily driven off by the shorelark.
The power of love - the shorelark and the skylark |
The distinctive 'horns' of the shorelark are here clearly visible |
