Wheatear Ireland
Sorry about the quality. I took this photograph of a Wheatear a couple of years ago at a distance with an old camera. It was my first sighting. Since then I have more photographs of Wheatears but they do not seem to resemble this one in as far as the breast is fuller and the colours seem more on the green side. Is this definitley a female Wheatear?

The fuller breast is probably due to the way the feathers are being held - the colour doesn't look wrong to me for a Northern Wheatear.
