As the last visits to look for some stonechats was cut short, I thought I would give them a further look. The female typically posed on top of some coastal gorse.
Sometimes a simple stick will do as a suitable look-out post. The male always close-by
Well worth the "revisit". Hadn't realised what a great colour they are. I still haven't seen one! However with your pictures as reference I shouldn't miss one if it does fly out in front of me... Jane
I've been browsing your posts since I last visited your blog a couple of weeks ago. Your work is beautiful. Love the ducks and bunnies, but songbirds are my very favorite thing, and these are stunning - the first one is my favorite. Just lovely images.
Many thanks for your comments. Its a rare for me to pass a stonechat without trying to get a photo, despite already having many, they are very endearing birds.
I use Canon Equipment for my photography. My current camera bodies are the 1DX, 1D MkIV and 7D mk2. These are primarily used with the 600mm F4 lens. On occasions the 600mm lens is combined with a 1.4X teleconvertor to get some more reach. I also use a 300m F2.8 and 70-200mm F2.8 for closer range work. I take most of my shots either hand held or using a beanbag for support. Occasionally I will use a tripod or monopod but mainly these are used when I am camped up in the hide.
All photographs are shot in RAW format before being taken into Capture 8 Pro and Photoshop for processing.
Most of my photography is undertaken locally on Merseyside, the Wirral and in North Wales but I always like to try and take a camera with me when I travel anywhere, just in case the opportunity arises.
Please remember that the welfare of your subject should always be the starting point of any wildlife photograph.
