All of these images here are the black-eared and black-throated forms of the eastern melanoleuca Black-eared Wheatear. All were taken in Cyprus this April. There is a debate on Scilly at the moment as to which form the male Black-eared Wheatear on St. Agnes belongs to. Hopefully the images below might help to assign the form.
Thankyou for posting this Steve, it has given me an insight on the black eared wheatear. Superb photography.
