Male Stonechat


Hi All,

Just going through my archives from earlier this year to see what I got on Stonechats, to make sure I get some new angles and different behaviour over the coming weeks, come across this one and thought I would share it with you.

Regards

Rob

that's excellent Rob, a bird I've never managed to photograph. Nice lighting and lovely and sharp.

Nice! I chased one along a fence in the car for a few hundred yards, but no luck.

Super shot, Rob, love the pose, bg, sharpness and colours..though I hardly dare mention colours these days!

Works for me.
The soft lighting really shows the plumage colour and details off to great effect. :toast:
