Stonechats

[Blythman]

Life gets in the way sometimes. Not getting out much lately. But spent 20 minutes with some stonechats today. Nice to press the shutter.

Really great shots of 2 superb looking birds. I too love the background and the overall images.

Thanks guys. What a difference when there is some distance between the bird and background
