First Wheatear of the year

Out at my usual patch today and my first Wheatear of the year at Mutton Island Causeway. Spring has arrived, but you would not think it with that Baltic wind. Good fresh healthy weather. Iceland gull was still at Nimmo's although on the otherside roosting on the rocks at low tide near Long Walk.
