Just took dogs out on the moor before going to bed and saw a dozen or so of these, posting now as I've not seen them on the moor before, so alerting you if they something special, probably not thought so who's going to ID this, not had chance to check my book as I need to go to bed


Why worry it may never happen?
If it has already happened why worry?
Because it's too late to do anything about it,
So Why Worry?

Wheatear it is. Quite a few are moving south along the coast now.

So it's the same bird as this  ???  and here's me thinking birds were uniform is size and shape unlike us humans
