The post we've all been waiting for...

Specifically this post here, and look what it has on it! I've been missing these guys for the last few months, and indeed missed them earlier this week when work got in the way of birding. This morning however I had the time, and who should I bump into but this little chap. Yes, the Wheatears are back. I've been eagerly following news from Portland and other coastal hotspots, and the initial trickle started a couple of weeks ago, but with no big build up as yet. Various London sites had singles, and Wanstead's turn came about mid-week. Not sure if this is the same bird or not, but on a cold March day it warmed the soul.
