Wheatear

I came upon a pair of migrant Wheatears along Swansea seafront around midday today. It didn't take long for me to get near enough for probably my best Wheatear shots yet, the birds sometimes coming too close for me to focus on:








All shots taken with a Canon 40D and Sigma 500mm lens.

    I think that your Wheatears are some of the finest looking birds and your image captures are all remarkable. Very nice. Be sure to share them this week on Wildbird Wednesday. Take care~
