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.

  1. The lighting was perfect to show him at his best.

  2. 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!

  18. 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
