ISABELLINE WHEATEAR SEATON SNOOK - FIRST FOR CLEVELAND




This local mega was found on Sunday 23rd November and identified as a Northern Wheatear but thanks to two certain birders it was refound just before dark and identified as Durham and Clevelands 1st Isabelline Wheatear! That evening only the locals who where quick off the mark saw it in any respectable light and as per usual I was washing pots. I got there for first light the next day and I was very surprised to see the bird was still present and it continued to show at point blank range for the next 4 days and proved to be the latest ever Isabelline Wheatear recorded in Britain!
