Whinchat

'It's the pallid bird that's been present for about two weeks. The paleness isn't due to being aberrant or leucistic but either a rare variation within Whinchat or what I believe, off eastern origin.' AC

'An amazing 58 Cranes in flight at Thorney Toll on 14th October. They had come down in a field between Thorney Toll and Wryde Croft windfarm, but were disturbed by a farm vehicle and headed off back towards Guyhirn. The leading 'bird' and the top left 'bird' are each two overlapping Cranes, as confirmed by other shots in the sequence, but this image is the best one to show all 58.' ID

'A very 'pallid' Whinchat has been at Dernford for a couple of days, it had just caught it's breakfast ! The record shot shows the bird with a more regular coloured Whinchat.' SC
