6 November - The second Isabelline Wheatear in the UK this weekend was only 90 minutes from home, so despite having seen my first ever in Britain only last month, I couldn't resist the chance to see this one and hopefully get some photos. It gave excellent views feeding in the late afternoon sunshine, the upright pot-bellied stance being obvious. Fairly uniform sandy-buff colouration, with brownish primaries and wing coverts and obvious black alula. The underwing was white, and the black on the tail fairly extensive. Much closer views than of the previous Sussex bird. Photos JM.
