The great thing about these little birds is that they will perch on top of a twig, you can see them a mile off and pose beautifully...and my thanks to Joelle who drove her car from twig to twig whilst I poked my camera out of the car window!! It will be reciprocated very soon!!!

I am sure Joelle didn't mind! What a lovely study of this stonechat, Kim.
 
Excellent clarity in the feathers and such a great background color to show off it's colors. Well done Kim.

LOL Kim... I can just picture the pair of you!!! And yes, they do like being on top of the twigs, don't they.

A super picture you've got of this little sweetie... very well done lassie (and the driver of course, for getting you into the right position;))
