I arrived at Woodoaks Farm this morning at about 10:00. On scanning the fenceline with my bins along the bottom field I noted what I thought was a Whinchat. Too distant to be certain so I went back to my car for my scope. On closer inspection through my scope the bird in question was indeed a female Whinchat. I sent out a few texts to some local birders and shortly after Steve Carter and Geof Lapstrop arrived on site. Although the bird was quite mobile Steve managed a pic. You can see this on his blog here http://colnevalleybirder.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/highly-mobile-whinchat-at-woodoaks.html
I did manage the record shot below
