Wheatears

I went to The Reptile Room this morning to buy some meal worms so that I could catch and ring some autumn Wheatears while the weather remains too windy for mist netting. The shop didn’t have any wrigglies left, even though they have a delivery every day. All I can say is there must be an awful lot of people with hungry exotic pets around here, let’s hope they don’t all escape at the same time (the pets that is).

So I set out hoping to photograph a few Wheatears instead while there are a few around. I think there were four different birds but I haven’t had time to examine each picture to see how many individuals I snapped.

I didn’t get much time for birding whilst sitting in the rocks but I did note 2 Green Sandpipers, 3 Greenshank, 2 Spotted Redshank, 1 Snipe and 130 Teal.
