The Diary was driving down the road past Craigard when it stepped into the road to stop the car. Once it was quite sure it had our full and undivided attention, it flew into a nearby bush and posed for us, turning first one way, then the other, and allowing us to approach to within feet to take its picture - all with good reason, for this has plumage like no other British bird.
A Very Happy Christmas to
