What a great character the Wheatear is and very photogenic as well.
I had to travel some 200 miles South to shoot these images.
A delightful bird that will stand and pose for you providing you don't get too close.
Local Birding colleagues will recognise the light coloured stone this one is standing on.
Lovely bird! I walked the Camino de Santiago in 2009 and wheatears were my constant companions in every open area I traversed. You scored excellent pics of these ones!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christian. I would have loved to have done the Camino.
