Finally managed to get a Yellow Wagtail to sit still somewhere where the background was relatively clean at a fast aperture.

Taken around 1 hour before sunset.

Gorgeous warm light, very tidy shot for dung heap work.

Lovely wee bird - long gone from these parts sadly. Strong background colour maybe overpowers the colours oif the bird a little but that's a minor nit - excellent shot.

Nicely taken Antony,

great shot of the bird, and the light really sets the shot off nicely.
