Went off to my airfield site yesterday evening in the hope of getting more Barn owls.
Nothing doing on that front. Did a circuit and then repeated it, to find that there must have been a fall of Wheatears.There was about ten birds all busy feeding at the side of the runway.
Taken from the car.

Nikon D2X. + 600mm AFS II + 1.4 conv.

Hi Major,

Nice portrait,

Looking at Landguard bird obs website, they had over 180 Wheaters arrive on wed/thurs.

Great shot, Major, - hope to get these small fellows here next week! Only nit, it might need a bit CCV rotation. :toast:
