Handheld, I appreciate the image is messy but it portrays the situation, ie. a wheatear having a stopover during passage. I was walking with Barney and I noticed a pair of wheatears on the cliff top, I approached slowly whilst averting my eyes and eventually I got close enough for a shot. The birds clearly knew I was there and tolerated my presence, in fact it was I who left first.
I had to over expose significantly and then use adjustments at raw stage to get the strong side light acceptably balanced.
The name wheatear is supposed to be derived from old english 1585-1595 "whiteers" white rump or white arse.
