thanks Rich, you can t bait a stonechat well I can t anyway, My husband Paul has kindly been driving me round to a few places that I hoped I would see some stonechats, I have managed to get quite a few shots over the last two weekends so we have put the hours in to get these, it has took hours and hours of waiting when I spotted some. If you sit still they do get nosey, this one in particular was, he was on barbed wire, in a tree and all over the place and then after a long while this is where he landed and I got the shot I wanted, I also got lucky with female she is never far behind but haven t had time to process anymore yet, you will be sick of them lol. It wasn t at a reserve just out in the countryside.
