Four Wheatears were feeding around the 11th fairway and a male Stonechat was near the cabins at Pennythorn.   A Common Whitethroat was singing on the moorland close to the Scout Camp at Sconce and another was near the car park opposite the 'white house'.  Keith Allen photographed a third individual (see below) near Golcar Farm fields.
