I can't see the original sticky so will start a new thread. Saw nearly 30,000 knot on Breydon Water yesterday. Great weekend at Minsmere, Otter, Kingfishers, Bitterns, lots of Marsh Harriers

Back from a morning walk along the coast. Snapped this, think it's a whitearse but which one?

Can't help with this one micky, there are far to many varieties of white arses to mention.

But could well be a male Wheatear.

So this male wheatear is a white-arse as suggested, but have you identified which one it is? To my dismay Mrssf has! I'll never live it down and quite a rareity. Oh, the humiliation!

Does look like a Desert first year male in winter garb, Oneputt.

Micky, don't start New Year celebrations so early next year. Nice photo though.

My preference is for the Lesser Spotted White-Arse, but I agree that you have snapped a Dessert Wheatear.

Nice Spot and pic.
