The Lincolnshire Bird Club

Any Wheatear in the second week of November is worth close scrutiny and I was interested in a dark specimen
yesterday at Donna. The bird seemed to have recently arrived as we found it when it was almost trodden on when sheltering against longer grass beside the track.
I considered that it could possibly be a Greenland Wheatear but Graham thinks that the structure is not right, and in any event recent winds have been coming from the east and south-east.
With there being Isabelline, Pied and Desert Wheatears along the east coast during the last week or so, one wonders whether the dark bird at Donna may have Asian origins?

Comments welcomed.
