Northern Wheatear Singing on Drystone Wall
One of our earliest spring migrants to arrive and most of our Wheatears are now on their territories and beginning their nesting operations.
I encountered several pairs on a visit to Dartmoor yesterday .
This male was singing its short sweet little song,interspersed with a sharp 'Chack..Chack' call to ward of interlopers.
I have seen them singing before but mainly when they are in flight as they then parachute down to the ground.
Taken in Devon.
