Stonechat (f) - Saxicola rubicola
Canon 800mm f5.6 for 1/400th @ iso800
A pair of Stonechat in a regular spot on the moors are compared to the Stonechat pairs on Frodsham Marsh proving more difficult to photograph than expected - perched on the top of the heather this female Stonechat provided a brief second or two to grab a photograph.
During the "white out" on the hills the male did offer an opportunity to get a photograph on snow capped heather neither of us where quick enough to get the shot !!!
Hopefully both birds survive the artic like conditions and freezing temperatures that have descended on the moors.
