Juvenile Wheatear, Alkborough

So autumn is well underway and bringing with it a trickle of waders, over the past 10 or so days there has been plenty to see including 2 Whinchats, up to 12 Spoonbills, 48 roosting Little Egrets, Bittern, 4 Wood sandpipers, 8 Spotted Redshank, 20+ Ruff, 1000+Avocet, 500+ Black-tailed Godwits, juvenile Cuckoo, juvenile Peregrine, Hobby, 20+ Snipe, 6 Green Sandpipers, 11 Common Sandpipers, 2 Knot, 2 Whimbrel, 4 Greenshank, 25+ Redshank and 1 Temminck Stint. Also seen were 8 Noctule Bats and a Mink!
Wayne's patchwork challenge hit a rough patch in July with no new species added but a few added for this month. Oh and nearly forgot this very tame juv Wheatear which was outside the main hide last night.
