Wheatear

1D Mk iv, 500mm f4 x1.4, 1/320s, f7.1.

First of the season for me, and a very confiding bird for a change - I'm used to watching them scoot off when I'm about to fire.

Very nice composition, Ian. Great when you find a confiding one isn't it?

Lovely shot . Just as we get them on the rocks around my local spot.
Nicely positioned in the frame too- and the bird not too big .
