Mr and Mrs Stonechat

At the moment it seems I can't point a lens without tripping over these beauties but I'm far from complaining.

Mrs, who gave me the best BG to work with. Best looked at on flickr, as the file size is larger and seems to get a bit more compression on here

Mr, too busy chasing off rivals to worry about backgrounds today

Thanks for looking.

Beautiful. Fantastic wee birds.

Great images colour and detail through both images is spot on.
I agree they do look better on Flickr.

Excellent shots. Whenever I've tried to catch them on gorse bushes (on holiday in SW Cornwall) there's been a coastal breeze and it doesn't take much to cause them to sway. Also, they must watch me creep closer and just when I'm good to go they up and fly to the next batch of gorse along..Lol. Same with Buzzards but on telephone poles.
