Greenland Wheatear, Maxey

Clearly a very different bird from yesterday. Another female but the orange colour a shade browner and extending to most of the underparts. A bulky, 'chesty' looking bird indicative of the Greenland race.

I was touring search results for greenland blogs and found your site. I love your photography. I am blogging out of California, USA, and enjoyed your posts
