Five striking Wheatear's four cocks and one hen made my Visit to the Ranges a little more exciting today. Always one of the first migrants to arrive in spring. And as always they put a big smile on my face. Such beautiful birds and one of my favourites. As a child the Easter school holidays at the caravan was when I saw my first one at the age off Ten. It was along the seawall at East Mersea which has now been breached by the sea to create the new Sailing pond. Habitats may change but these hardy little birds always turn up be it on a newly ploughed field or on the beach so observing five together was a real pleasure.
