After Colyford Common I went for a quick check of Seaton Marshes in case anything else had fallen there during the course of the morning. There was one Wheatear there but nothing else of interest.

Wheatear - about time too
After missing quite a few Wheatears on patch so far this year (some by literally minutes) it was nice to finally catch up with some today. There were at least 6 on Colyford Common early afternoon although getting pics of them proved difficult as some noisy children scared them over to the other side of the tramlines. After a bit of a wait they did come back onto the West side of the tramlines and showed well although quite distantly. It was nice to meet some more blog followers whilst I was there; they said they made the trip because of my recent posts about the birds seen here! Always satisfying when that happens, so many thanks folks!

Wheatears never fail to disappoint,so photogenic and accommodating.Looking forward to catching up with some myself when we are down your way next weekend!
ReplyDeleteYes definitely, some are so smart in Spring as well. Hopefully there'll be some good birds around for your visit; weather forecast looking favourable so far!
DeleteThe Grammar Vigilante would have kittens Paul! Surely you meant that Wheatears never fail to please?!
ReplyDeleteHa yes hopefully that was the intended meaning! 5+ showing well at Seaton Marshes this morning but they seem to have cleared out now.
