I received a text from Marc Heath last evening to say he had seen a pale wheatear on the seawall during his afternoon run but he thought it was likely to be a pale Northern Wheatear. This morning we walked from Reculver to Coldharbour and managed to find the bird on the beach by the end of the Green Wall and I took a series of photos and after deliberation consider that it is a leucistic Northern Wheatear.
