Wheatear in its summer home

One bird I have caught up with many times this year is the Wheatear. When on holiday in the Scottish Borders we found the wonderful moors around the Lammermuir Hills north of Longformacus which held Red Grouse, Meadow Pipits, Curlew, Stone Chats, Whin Chat and of course the Wheatear.

We spent a couple of days visiting this location and parked up close to where Wheatear dropped  onto a fence post close too. I managed a good number of shots over the two days, overcast at times but the first day had bright periods, I find the second days pictures better with no bright sunlight causing hard reflections.

I have only processed a few pictures so far but despite the slightly dull light I am happy with the results.
