Very nice shot Bob
That is one tired bird - look at the state of it's primaries and tail!
the last thing it needs is to be hastled by birders then isn't it
It's not hassled in the least,it's on the main path by choice where it's used by Dog walkers,joggers and Birders,you should go and check it out for yourself before commenting.The local people even feed it.
The two birds in Swansea Bay last year both behaved this way and were very confiding without any obvious reason why. Bob, your photo shows clearly some retained juvenile scaps, coverts and tertials as well as the worn remiges, so I assume this is a bird that has almost completed it's post-juvenile moult. When you compare this with the very juvenile bird at Blackpill last year you can appreciate the variation in moult.
