Northern Wheatear

Hi all,

Taken this evening on the Severn estuary. This Wheatear was incredibly confiding, it kept hopping closer and closer to me, I had to keep moving back to fit it in the frame! :biggrin: If only more wildlife was like that!

Thanks for looking,

Lewis.

Great lighting, nice shot. Can't see how you'd improve it.
