Hello Mark,
A very nice capture of a male Stonechat that looks like it has caught a Silver Y moth. The technical features are first class and your composition against the blue sky pleasing.
Many of us on TN like to read a more descriptive note and I don't mean just a Wikipedia load-up describing the species! But it would be nice to know the circumstances that led you to take this shot, how common the Stonechat is in the UK (it is very rare in sweden) and possibly why you used those camera settings. We are here mainly to learn from each other.
Thanks and kind regards,
Ivan

Hi Mark. You have taken a fine close up of the Stonechat with its catch. A good pose with its head turned so we can see the wwhole body. Fine detail and colours in the featehrs. well taken against the blue sky. TFS.
