Not the best photo that I have ever posted here on the Blog but very interesting never the less. It's a female Wheatear of course, and one of 5 that were viewable from my Caravan hide today. Wheaters spend the winter inAfrica and are one of the early migrants to arrive back on their breeding grounds in Europe. I saw one first, a spanking male, in the field to the left of my hide but it disappeared, in actually fact I just couldn't see it. Then as I started to walk back to the car I caught sight of more movement in the field and then suddenly realised that there was a total of five. 3 females and 2 males. They were feeding on the insects attracted to the fresh horse dung, (as you can see). I tried to get close enough for record shot and this is as close as I could get. So, it's official……. spring is here! If you read the post above you will see that they weren't the only migrants around the caravan hide today.
