Pale head, contrast between coverts and flight feathers and pale eye. LSE has wintered in Israel I believe and there was at least one in Spain last winter ( but not seen in Jan, Feb though if I recall) I seem to remember a wintering record from Sicily too. I think early return records in Spain start in the first week of March. The LSE in El Hondo last winter looked a lot like this bird.</p></blockquote><p></p>
