Wheatear


Finally there is a window of calm weather, it's good to get out with the camera. Everything has changed with the rain. Suddenly it's summer. 

A pair of Wheatears jump around on the anthills looking for insects in Bushy Park. The male looks like little highwayman in his black mask. The female is much lighter in colour. I have never seen them here before. They must be heading back to their summer feeding grounds in the North after a winter spent in Africa.
