I think the image portrays the title well Jack. Saw a few of these floating, or should I say, darting around the Dales last week. Good capture Jack.

Well captured in a nice pose in good light with a nice perch & bg.
I agree with the debris on the foot but is does not spoil the image.

Lovely glow to this Jack and nice comp. The poop (?) is minor, it happens!

Really nice images you've captured of this female. The light is great. The wheatears up here on Fair Isle are moulting now or have already moulted and are about to head south. Looks like that one hasn't started its moult yet.
