This morning a pair of these beautiful birds were seen along the disused central runway section of Greenham Common about one mile east of the Pyle Hill entrance. They are unmistakable in flight as you'll see the large white square just above their dark tail when in flight. Wheatears are a sandy brown colour in autumn, having lost their grey back. Size-wise, they are slightly smaller than blackbirds and they are quite bold allowing you to get reasonably close in order to take photographs.
