Hi Justin,

As clean a shot as I'd expect from you so well worth digging out of the files - love the perch too: makes a change from a lichen covered rock!!

You should post more often Justin. Your shots are always well worth viewing, and this is no exception.

Very nice indeed.

Lovely Justin.

It's funny but I was just thinking only a few more weeks and the Wheatears will be returning.
