Excellent capture SM, am currently seeing a pair foraging gardens as late as 21.00 most nights!

The same here with the nesting blackbirds, though last night was quieter, and a lot less noise from  the nest.

22 Jul 24 - Stonechat (Saxicola rubicola) - Male - The stonechat was sitting at the back of the bush, I liked the effect the out of focus branches at the front gave.

I like the effect too Snappy,  lovely photo.

And I thought you wanted a picture of them, and that damned stonechat grabbed the autofocus 

Another great one Snappy.

Thanks Hazy

Thanks PB, without the eye detect I probably would have got the bush...

Beautiful colours!
