OK, I managed to get a Stonechat on a perch this time. Up to now all my Stonechats have been on the beach.

Canon 1D2n, 2x MkII, 400mm DO IS, ISO500, f9, 1/640th. Cropped to Portrait format, USM=100%, 0.6, 0.

Looking at the droppings on the twig I would say that this is a favourite perch. Perhaps a tad more canvas to the right?
Lovely shot of a male, I could only get females today

Very nice and tack sharp image, Rob. But I'm also wondering: perhaps a bit more canvas to the right?

Super stuff - like it a lot. Might be tempted to try a bit of lightening around the "chin" area but great as is
