Whenever I have walked along Wood lane up to Hilltop Farm this year, I have not seen a stonechat but today was the day I got lucky! I was so pleased to see him as it's been such a long time since the farmer cut most of the hedgerows down.
Thanks for all your kind comments and Favs - it is always much appreciated.
The light on him is just beautiful - does bother me (and obviously the birds) when they do all that cutting down - takes so long for the wildlife to return. This is a terrific shot of a really sweet bird.
