Hi everyone, not posted for ages, but that beautiful female Whinchat posted by Karen needs some company.

This male was photographed this year early one morning in late June on Morton Moor Bingley West Yorkshire. The footballs told me which post to stake out. :wink:

7D, 500+1.4

Very nice John, I guess your still living in Yorkshire then! Must be nearly 17 years since I last saw you :wink:

All the Best

Good to see you posting again, John. I think if it were mine I would clone the 'footballs' out.
