Nice one on the Wheatear Craig. I put some serious time into my patch today but no sign of Stonechat or Wheatear.
My highlights were 2 Curlew, 3 Chiffchaffs and a Small Tort
Good to see Wheatear are coming in Craig, I hope for one this week !
Craig - is the Wheatear on time or late for the site ? I have bashed the fields at West Hagley for the last week and still not sign of one...Laurie -
Wheatear arrival is 3-4 days later than last couple of years Laurie.
