Northern wheatear on Fair Isle
This is another from my play time the other night with the Canon 500 f/4 L IS. What a dangerous thing for my wallet to do, borrowing such a nice piece of kit! I'm studying wheatears for my PhD, and I was happy to get a picture of one in nice evening light that I haven't ringed yet (each lucky bird gets not just metal rings, lots of colour ones too!).

C & C welcome.

Hi Adam,

Very nice capture and with the 500mm too! I can see you getting one of these of your own before too long! I think it's know as lens lust! :wink:
