My first look immediately was - 'a Wheatear' - but it wouldn't fit any of them. The bill was wrong shape and size and the eye much larger than Wheatear and the white leading edge to the primary and the tail and large legs/feet. The wing length looked short, and that's why I initially thought Wheatear. I was pleased when I got it - eventually. See it in the wild and Wheatear would not even come to mind. Learn something every day !
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,
