A couple of shots showing two different male Wheatears taken earlier in the year at Maxey gravel pits. The bottom bird is, I think, a younger male as his `mask` is not quite as defined as the top bird. It won`t be long now until they start to make their return journey and they could well stop off at Maxey on their way through.
Exceptional shots John as always. I missed them on the way up this time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Roy,
DeleteI am sure that you will see one on their way back through the county.

Beautiful photos John! This year is going so quickly while we all wait for a Summer which never seems to arrive. I was only thinking yesterday that it won't be that long before we are looking for Winter Thrushes again!
