So seeing a window between my weekend dad duties I headed down in hope for the Issy that has been hanging around Llyn Peninsula.
When we arrived we noticed Trevor Ellery and Phil Novis togging a bird in a small depression close to the cliff. The sight of other fellow twitters on site togging a bird after a three hour drive is definable a welcome sight.
Means the bird is still present. Fantastic.
A particularly tricky bird to identify, due to its similarities with Northern wheatear. The major identification features of Isabelline wheatear include the white of rump starting lower down the back with a broader terminal black tail band and shorter stem of ‘T' and whiteish underwings. This bird takes me to 418, my target, or hope is to hit 420 for the 2022.
Here's hoping.
