Got some great views of the Wheatear's a few days ago using my car as a hide. The males are looking very striking at the moment.
40D + 400/5.6 C&C welcome.

WOW numbers one and five do it for me, though they are all first class, but I think those two are exceptional. What a sweet looking bird, I've never seen one myself.

Nice series, all of them are great, but # 5 is my favorite.

I'd agree with the others all are exceptional but # 5 is the tops for me too.
Thanks for Sharing

Hi 'Vulcan' The British breeders winter in Africa (as does the Greenland and Canadian breeders), These guys are among the world's real long distance migrants.
