A very simple shot of this subject when they were nesting in the Orchard, then gave me the slip and moved back about half a mile to the old willow tree they used to frequent. Easily ID due to the right eye, although slightly hidden on this frame. He/she used to fly down and rummage around the log pile looking for grubs and beetles.
Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.
