My first Northern Wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe) of the year, always nice to see these back for the spring after their winter in sub-saharan Africa. Long distance migrants indeed.

Nice day out in North Wales today, picked up Surf Scoter, Chough and a number of Black Guillemot, this 1st winter bird looking splendid, seems a shame for it to turn black. #147 for the year
