Sadly I didn't manage a decent photo of the Desert Wheatear this morning but I was very pleased to get this Stonechat on the way back.

One project that I would really like to do much more of is photographing micro-moths in the field. The trouble is they don't often perch out in the open. This one did at Wyke last week. I think it's Esperia sulphurella.
