Desert Wheatear - Part II






























The second attempt at getting some decent images of the Desert Wheatear at Cromer Point and finally some decent light levels. The bird was showing very well and started to use the fence posts as a lookout to the field below for grubs etc. A cracking bird, hope it sticks around for a few more days.

Hi Darrell
Yes it was me you helped and Jess the dog, thanks for that. Did you get the Firecrest??

Thanks for the text on the Firecrest Steve - is there such a thing as the best area to stand or view.

Saw Darrell at Scalby Mills - well worth a check of his blog when you get the chance, very entertaining.

Class shots again.

I took the shots of the Firecrest on top of the gully on the Cromer side looking down in to Crook Ness. I tried walking down the path, but found you could cover more ground from above.
