As I walked back from Pier Bottom Valley, after finding a Little Stint at St Aldhelms (see the last Blog Post), I noticed this Wheatear sitting on a fence post. It looked remarkably upright. It flew a couple of posts, but again it was remarkably upright. I took this photo on the second fence post.
At the time I was wondering if it was a Greenland Wheatear, given it had such an upright posture. This subspecies is generally larger and bulkier. However, without measurements, it's not going to be possible to figure this out. Greenland Wheatears are described as having a more orangey wash to the underparts. So, perhaps it was just a regular Wheatear, which was looking more upright due to how it was sitting on the edge of the posts.
