Splendid close views of this fine bird at Reculver, Kent, UK. It is on the beach about 1/2 mile East of the towers and shows very close at times.

Fantastic shot Nigel. It looks like you had managed to get pretty close in there - what sort of range was the pic taken??

This image was taken at about 30ft, but the bird was frequently coming as close as 10 ft to the crowd of birders there.

Really good picture Nigel. Quite the exhibitionists aren't they. And Steve - where were you with the Fife Ness Desert Wheatear!??
