Shot last weekend at Hengistbury Head, the only bird seen in 2 hours of walking but still worthwhile

7D, 420mm, 1/640, f 6.3, ISO 400

Nice pose and catchlight Stan

I think a wee crop top and left would make for a better composition

Re: Stonechat Male

Lovely little birds and nice capture. We have had one or two pairs at our local reserve every winter but alas none so far this year.

Thanks guys

Must admit I was getting a bit fed up having not even had the vaguest opportunity to press the shutter button and in fact eagle eyed Dee saw him in the distance and we were able to approach very near, in fact the shot is not far off the full frame

Very nice shot Stan, lovely pose, sharpness, colour, background all good. Great detail on the legs and feet illustrate just how sharp this is.
