Wheatear -(Oenanthe oenanthe)
Well it's been some time since I posted as I have been really busy and this is the first chance I have had to start to process so bits & pieces.

This was taken whilst away in Scotland with Graham. 'Hawkeye' spotted this little chap as we tried to locate some Red Deer in the Cairngorms. A great find, but we guessed he was just too exhausted (as they were on migration) to fly any more and allowed us to get quite close, unlike his pals :biggrin:

Angle's a bit steep for me, if I'm honest, but the blue sky sets the bird off great. :smile:

Nice image Steve, my monitor shows a lot of pixelation around the bird, probably just jpg compression, more noticable when it's tilted.

:cool:
