Headon warren and WHD

Fairly productive morning. 06:30 - 12:30

Yellow wagtail 43 (28 with cattle; 15 flyovers)
Tree pipit 13 (10 over HW; 3 on WHD. Min.count; birds high up)
Whinchat 3 (1 HW, that became 2 on leaving; 1 on WHD)
Blackcap 12 (at least)
Redstart 3
Spotted fly 6

yellow wags

 
 
Tree pipits with a wheatear - had to settle with these pics as they were very flighty and prone to bombing off. But compared with a mipit they show a stouter bill, more striking head pattern, and finer streaking along the flanks.
