Saw my first wheatears of 2012 yesterday. Several females looking good, upright, watchful and perky as they fed on the shingle at Dunge. The males though . . . . Superbly kitted out in their bright breeding plumage were something else. Always great to see but in the spring sunshine their breast and throat colouring was fab, and their gorgeous 'cloaks' looked so smart from behind.
I fell in love on sight - shame I'm not a Wheatear!
