Travelled upto Bempton Cliffs RSPB,E.Yorks  for the male Desert Wheatear stopping off at Barton to pick Rich Dawkins up,however the bird just didn't want to play ball & only had distant views all day so concentrated on getting some photos of Tree Sparrow instead also had a cpl of flyover Snow Buntings & a Short-eared Owl which was a nice end to the day!!

Yet another trip down to Titterstone Clee Hill,Shropshire for the Desert Wheatear with not much else on offer apart from the Semi P/Western Sandpiper in Norfolk the Wheatear won hands down at least this has been ID'd & is photogenic,yet again it was rather windy with a big chill factor the bird was also very mobile until late afternoon but gave some cracking views at times.............
