It was a late afternoon visit to the Crown Estate Fields to see the Woodchat Shrike that turned up this morning. And I had heard that there were one or two Whinchat around as well. And I wasn't disappointed as both species were seen from almost the same viewing point.
Other birds of note were two Wheatear in the Top Fields and a Spotted Flycatcher at Culverwell

This was the second Wheatear in the same field.
A Skylark gives me a long hard stare.
