Blue Sky Stonechat (Saxicola torquata)

This uncropped shot of a Stonechat was taken in the dunes at Minsmere on Sunday. The main problem was getting an unobstructed view of the bird with the grasses waving about in the wind. This is just to show that we have had the odd sunny hour or two in recent days in this part of the world. Ron

Thanks Adalia. Blue skies, yes, but interspersed with frequent monsoon-like showers to stop us getting too cocky. Ron
