After a 12 month lull Wheatears start to appear again
Mega distance away, 150mm Wheatear on wall below
horses front leg.
300mm Oh there it is.
600mm best your going to get.
With a text from AC and knowing the dreaded 4 way temporary lights were gone from Tesco , it was a quick dash down at lunchtime to check the field and look for the reported 2 Wheatears.
The birds were still present but on the far wall out of camera range apart from a record shot but nice to see them using the field again after a year of no reports in 2015.
It is going back to 15/04/2012 when Tracy first discovered the field with 21 Wheatear present.
The field today also held 4 Skylark, 2 Meadow Pipit, 2 Woodpigeons and a Snipe which dropped into the juncus field.
Well done to DJS today for his 2 Whimbrel over my second home, Fly Flatts. See Calderbirds blog for pics.

No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
