Oooh!!! It's ages since I've seen one of these, ever since they abandoned my Patch about 6 years ago!

A super picture this JJ - very well done and many thanks for showing him to us my friend.

Lovely shot of this bandit-masked Whinchat JJ. In all technical respects, impeccable.

There's something oddly symbolic in this image. Barbed wire is used by humans to contain, or keep out, animals or other humans; it's no impediment to birds though, and for the Whinchat it just serves as a perch. A reminder of how human beings have always envied birds' power of flight.
