Title: Northern Wheatear confirmation
Post by: Derickp on April 25, 2017, 04:24:33 PM
Found this Wheatear at a very cold Skinningrove today. Is it a Northern Wheatear or some other? Sorry for image quality. Distant and dull conditions didn't help.

Hi Derick,
Yes a female Northern Wheatear. The grey-brown back and peachy breast suggest it's a Greenland-race bird.

Cheers
Damian
