It is the time of year now when the Wheatears return to our shores. The species is a long distant migrant form Africa arriving in March and leaving in October.
Currently it is on the UK species of conversation concern (Amber List). Fortunately, living on the South Coast we get to see a considerable number as they initially arrive after the long migration flight. The numbers that exist then disperse and continue on North to the breeding grounds.

Photographing the Wheatears amongst the Sea Mist Flower on Chisel Beach is always a pleasure.

Hei Roy! Aivan ihanat valokuvat!
ReplyDeleteKiitos paljon Anne.
DeleteA very nice set of portraits, Roy. They've been reported around here but I haven't seen any myself this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks John. They are a bit infrequent unless you are here on the coast when they arrive.
DeleteWow, Roy, dit zijn adembenemende foto's!
ReplyDeleteIk heb er ook al naar gezocht, maar hier zijn ze nog niet gezien
Groetjes, Maria
Heel erg bedankt Maria.
