Never seen more than about 4 or 5 at once and more usually just 1 or 2.<br />It's been interesting on google+ with the response in Japan to some of my UK shots - the birders get as excited about Wheatear as I would Siberian Rubythroat!Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15714598258577335301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-87028664231108455.post-87166698543379151222014-07-27T03:59:38.505+09:002014-07-27T03:59:38.505+09:00Very instructive images Stu.
