Northern Wheatear

My first spot for the year of these delightful birds was on Friday 13th!

I picked up the first one just after 8am on a dull cloudy morning in Bedford River Valley Park along the newly planted hedge line to the East of 100 acre pit at TL 0857 5024.

Unfortunately due to the dull conditions and maximum zoom employed the images are pretty scratchy




When I followed this bird a short distance to the west I was pleased to find 3 other birds, 4 in total.







I did go back the next day but could only locate one Wheatear in some rough ground to the north of the hedge line.
