My first Whinchat

Relaxed morning scenes in the mountains

The Wheatear in breeding plumage is something I've long wanted to photograph as I've only seen juveniles before. Driving home along the mountain road a few days ago I somehow managed to spot a male. I returned to the area a few days later to see if I could find it and to my surprise I found the male and a female. Unfortunately I didn't get them in the same frame, but I'll take it.

After what feels like months of very little going on, things are definitely warming up. A cuckoo being harassed, understandably so. I've only managed 1 other photo of a cuckoo before and their short stay here makes it a welcome sight.
