Stonechats Saved the Day.


Stonechats ....Saxicola torquata

After dipping on the Med Gull and finding the Brent Geese had left the Bay I was looking for something to photograph. ...

Up pops my favourite birds a pair of Stonechats perched high and low but giving me a fair chance of a photograph......now if only all birds were that obliging.

    ...beautiful shots. I love the green in the background against the soft orange.

    That's are nice pictures.
    I photographed them back in 2002, and that was the last time I saw them. I think they are avoiding me!

    Thank you Kelly. The uncluttered background definitely works with close up shots of birds.

    Thanks Bob.
    That is a long while not to see a Stonechat. On the Baywatch site they are just as numerous as House Sparrows.
