Female Stonechat
Despite saying to myself I would not take so many shots of birds on twigs this year, I couldnt resist this one.
The Stonechats were in pairs but I could only manage to get shots of the females.

Nikon D300
Nikon 300mm f2.8 + 1.7TC
400 iso
640th sec
f6.3

Shot in portrait but still with a small crop

I think the delicate and unobtrusive perch suits the species perfectly.

Hi Tony,

Great shot. I like the soft colours and the strip of blue air. :smile:

Nice one Tony... The females do seem to more confiding,

BTW my broadband connection at home is down :frown: , they have no idea how long before they can trace the fault + it may be down to BT...

Lovely shot. Standing on sticks is what they do, it's hardly your fault.
