Wheatear

I've not seen a Wheatear for a few months. To be honest though, I've not really been anywhere that they would be. I made a long awaited trip to Macclesfield at the weekend. I love this place. A real variety of habitat, from fast flowing rivers, reservoirs and forest to upland moors and craggy slopes.
I stumbled across this chap, who then proceeded to show me the way along this dry stone wall.
I didn't catch his name, but was more than happy for him to stop by and help me out.

    A very handsome guide ... It is always best to have one with local knowledge! That place sounds amazing ... All that diversity of terrain, the water .... Heavenly!

    He's in good nick Adam. Reckon he had a family hidden in that wall not too far away.

    How rude not to ask his name - in the end I reckon he showed you a white bum as a result - am I correct?

    Looks like scrollwork along the edge of his wings. A real beauty.
