    I spotted this in August but it seems to be the wrong colour for an adult Wheatear.  A juvenile maybe?

    Not an expert, but looking at my Moorlands bird pocket guide it could be a female wheatear.

    It is a female- on my recent trip to Dartmoor, I only saw one Wheatear- obviously declining on Dartmoor as well as Wales. It migrates to Africa and the problem may be there rather than in Europe. Although, if there is any species that can survive in the Sahara, this is it.

    For some science, try here
    or

    You can find facts about any British species on this site.
