Wheatear
One from today,I went down for the high tide roost but the wind was so strong it spread the roost out over a couple of miles, as I was walking back this little beauty was looking for food along the high tide line.

I like that !
Vegetation makes it too.
That's my favourite pose on any bird really, from the back with the head turned.
Great stuff.

An excellent shot, with a bit of an optical illusion to it, if you stare at it for a bit. :eek: :smile: :wink:
