Lucky Chat

I arrived for an early lunch around 12:00 on Tuesday and chatting to Bert I noticed a small passerine flying with a deep undulating flight to the wires and land right next to the pylon midway down the field. I got the scope up and announced 'female Whinchat', it then shot down to the Hawthorn at the bottom left, but only lingered for a few moments.

This is only my third ever spring Whinchat at DP, so a big bonus species. I could not relocate it over an hour search.
