I see these birds quite often but I'm not sure what they actually are! This one was on the ascent of Lowther Hill.

Thank you!

I wonder if I'll remember that next time I see one? :lol:

Will it help if you remember that wheatears were originally called white-arses, before someone came up with a politer version?
