We've had a number of these lovely birds on our reserve in the last few days and I managed to get a couple of shots while "on duty" today.
Thanks for looking.

Re: Wheatear.
The 1st ones a fantastic image...typical upright pose.....makes it look like it's easy to nab them.I know different as the ones I see never keep still long enough to get a fix on them.
It was brave of you to take on the 2nd one...the light looked dead against you.
Another good advert for the micro system....and you.

Thanks Keith.Originally posted by ringneck View Post
You're right about the light in the second one.
Not sure if I was brave or foolhardy
but the new sensor (and I have to say processing from raw in DxO Optics Pro) do enable you to do things never before possible with 4/3.

ps. Look for my next post for another example.Peter

Re: Wheatear.
Hi Pete,
We get loads and loads of these beautiful wee birds all around the house from early spring until about late August early September.
Right now we are waiting for Fieldfares to arrive. Then we definitely know its autumn.

Re: Wheatear.
Most of our summer birds have headed south, the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds left weeks ago and I haven't had a Sandhill Crane for over a week. And we had Pine Siskins on the feeders last week, normally a mid winter visitor.Comment

Re: Wheatear.
That's a good picture of a charming little bird.

Re: Wheatear.
In this part of England we only get Wheatears during migration. I understand birds from Greenland and Canada migrate to Africa but I don't think this bird is the right sub-species to be one of yours.Originally posted by David M View Post
