Wheatear, male. Stanage Edge, Derbyshire Peak District. DSC_8417.jpg
I found this bird very soon after arriving at the start of the Edge early on Wednesday morning. I hung around for a while taking photos - it's been a few years since I saw a male bird in breeding plumage.
This shot was taken when I was hiding behind a rock and he heard the shutter release and came closer to investigate, in the end so close here, that he filled the frame vertically. Funnily enough I'd just added the 1.4x converter to the lens, as I was having trouble closing in to a good distance, up to this point.
Thank you for your faves and comments, appreciated.
