These would likely be birds which breed in northern
Norway/Sweden/Finland, they are very boldly marked birds and the
plumage is progressively more boldly marked in birds of father north
breeding areas. Much more marked than British breeding birds.The males
are the most boldly marked sex. They are probably from Scandinavia by
the Spring location on east South England, the Icelandic birds
overwinter in the west of Britain and Ireland. I study them.
