Wheatear??

See rear view pic for explanation! Any idea what this is?? Wheatear is the nearest I could find in my Big Book of Birds - possibly a juvenile...?? Gave a great show whatever it is - very neat individual.

Its rather small crouched posture, lack of clear super, general colour recalls Black-eared. Can you send me a bigger file and where was it?

Will do, and it was at RSPB Snettisham

Snettisham is probably a little more than just over the border a bit like Flamborough is

I wasn't trying to pass this off as a Lincs spot - I'd just like to know what it is and you lot are the only experts I know! Sorry if it shouldn't be here.

Did what I probably should have done in the first place - as it wasn't seen in Lincs - and posted on Bird Forum. It's a Northern Wheatear. Thanks.

All images on the Wildlife Album are taken in Lincolnshire, for further information on Lincolnshire Birds, see http://www.lincsbirdclub.co.uk . The terms of the Wildlife and Countryside Act must be observed and licences obtained to photograph Schedule 1 species from the appropriate Statutory Nature Conservation Agency. The Lincsbirds photo Album does not encourage images of rare birds taken at the nest or with young - a copy of the appropriate licences must be available, otherwise your image will be removed.

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
