21 years ago in the West - well Scilly!
Retro - tech! a digital copy of a slide taken way back then.
Could be a female on St Agnes Scilly.
I think we used to get closer in those days - this is not magnified!
I remember that one Rich, I also photographed it! We all surrounded it in a big circle and nobody complained! 2 years later we found one on St. Marys, but the ID was difficult, we found it whilst waiting for a Red Throated Pipit. We stood watching this large Wheatear, but ran off to the yell of Pipit Showing! We then had to leave but had a phonecall next day saying that the bird we were watching was an Isabelline. It wasn`t a `classic` one.

....oh yes it was, even Lee Evans said it was the easiest Izzy Wheatear ever!
