This Isabelline Wheatear showed reasonably well (if rather distant at times) as it fed in fields on Carmel Head, Anglesey. Eventually it flew to a nearby stone wall and I managed a few record shots as it rested and preened. A much appreciated UK tick for me after being unable to get to the two recent Landguard birds, despite them being over 300 miles nearer than this one!

These are low resolution versions, which have had to be squeezed more than I would have liked to get them to a reasonable file size. |
