Female Stonchat (Saxicola torquata) and Caterpillar

Female Stonechat with food in NE Hampshire England.
I had watched the pair of Stonechats coming and going with food, to a nest which must have been nearby. I saw them with many different food items and they were not affected by my presence at all. They often used this perch, so I simply set up the camera and waited for a shot.

Camera: Nikon CP4500
Scope: Swarovski ST80HD
Scope Zoom: 25x

Manual settings
Camera Zoom: 4x

Coolpix 995 / Opticron ES80. Resized and sharpened only.

Date Taken : 2003/05/04 13:57:43
Focal Length : 19.1 mm
