17/03/2015 First Wheatear of Year

Tuesday 17th March
Seaford Head, East Sussex

After a couple of hours tidying the garden I managed to get away late afternoon.  In glorious sunshine I travelled down to the coast to look for Wheatears.

During the ascent to Seaford Head from Splash Point I spotted a lovely, newly arrived one on the golf course to my left.  It looked glorious in the evening light as it fed on the insects in the grass.


Addition to BUBO 2015 UK Bird List:
Wheatear   (179)



A sure sign that spring is nearly here!
