This stonechat came sitting nearly straight above my hiding-place in the bushes. Not bothered by me at all, he sang his song.

Nikon D80, Sigma 50-500mm @ 500 mm, iso 200, F8, 1/500 sec on a tripod.

Vey nice Sandra, well exposed and i love the singing. I (personally) prefer a slightly less steep angle...but it is a very nice image!
