Wheatear - Burton Marsh

One of the birds I look forward to seeing most, as a sign of Spring arriving, is the Wheatear. Such a great looking bird and one of my favourites.
Last weekend I came across one at Burton Marsh on the Wirral, but this bird will be on his way out of the country very soon, off to warmer climbs.


I had some nice warm sunshine to help light the little guy up.

    The lighting was perfect to show him at his best.

    You are having spring and we are having a fall. These pictures were either taken early in the day or later in the day. Fun shadows!

    He's a wonderful bird and you got some great shots of him. Love the one of him looking back over his "shoulder." :-)

    Hello Adam!:) You did this little guy proud with your photos. I like the wheatear also, they are like little soldiers standing to attention.

    I hope it makes it safelt both to warmer climes and back to our shores next spring. Our swallows went very early this year so I wonder if they think we are in for a hard winter? #AnimalTales
