Good to catch up with this cracking male Desert Wheatear at Thurlestone beach in South Devon, only the second I've seen. ( the first being at Looe in Cornwall in dec 1997). This one was very confiding, favouring an area on the beach with a small boat which it used as a perch.

| The Wheatear came within feet allowing for a few close ups. |

| The Desert Wheatear spent some time on the boat preening |

| As did this Rock Pipit. |
A delight to see.
