These enigmatic birds are a delight to sit and observe whilst they are lekking, they each have their own little patch of the moor and any other birds that come into it are quickly challenged, and this ranges from a lot of posturing and strutting about with all their bright white tail feathers displayed, or to full combat where it is all claws and beaks.
I visited early on Wednesday morning, the forecasted clear sunny morning materialised and this resulted in my best photos of the week. It has been a great little project, one I had never experienced before, and I count myself very lucky to have seen it.
Great to see the Wheatears back from their migtration.
Wow!...Cracking shots Gary, the first four are just stunning images..well worth those early starts?..[;o)
ReplyDeleteA remarkable set. A bird I have not seen in the wild. Beautiful work
ReplyDeleteYour photos are absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteSimply awesome! The only thing better than seeing your photos would have been to see this in person. Thanks! Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who is into wildlife tourism in India, it becomes imperative for us to see the world view on wildlife. Your blog does just that. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCe sont de magnifiques photos!!!
ReplyDeleteBirds on the move create a stunning image. You need to use a fast shutter speed to capture the moment but at the same time, you want the majority of the animal to be sharp so there is a contrast between blur and sharp.
