Very nice image Steve. I like the subtle lighting and having the bird in its environment.

Re: Wheater in Kenya

When I was working in Kenya, way back in the 1970s, there were loads of different Wheatear species around in winter, all of those you see in guide books that originate in eastern Europe and Russia. Also lots of different Yellow/Blue-headed Wagtails and various shrikes. Migrants to East Africa virtually all come from the east, ours go to West Africa. Unfortunately, a Zenith and 135 mm lens with Agfa 50 slide film were hardly suitable for photographing them

Agreed Richard , I photographed 4 different species of Wheater when I was there in February
