I have spent several days following these little birds around. This particular shot was taken with the 500mm plus TC though after time they have become quite confiding and I managed to get images without the use of a TC. This one was taken in the late afternoon light about 90 min before dusk.
Depending upon your comments I may be able to improve a little with the next Stonechat:cool:

All comments welcome
Stunning image and composition Johnathan and the lighting is just gorgeous. Beautiful BG and excellent color, pose and detail. Love this image and many thanks for sharing.
Like the light and the BG. I would crop a bit off the top to put the bird higher in the frame and get the eye into a 'rule of thirds' location. There appears to be some motion blur of the head. Not sure what your shutter speed was; it would help if you could include your tech specs along with your photos.
