July Wheatear?

After we left the Dunlin yesterday, Geoff saw a small passerine land on the lake edge, got one record shot, then called those who had just left the hide back, only for it to fly and be lost immediately, before anyone could get onto it.

On seeing the photo today, it did look like a Wheatear in stance, but was just too far away to be 100% sure. There are just 2 July records 29th 1988 and 16th 1989, so this would have been a good one to secure.

Today, 2 LRP's LFGP, an Oystercatcher snuck in without us seeing it arrive, a lone Wigeon, which I had seen flying in from the South over BSL, also turned up at LFGP. 1 Little Egret on the mouth of the SE corner, another on Sandford, c10 House Martin and a few Swifts went over.
