That's a lovely one Snappy. Funny how the crown and chest can be different shades, bird to bird.

Thanks PB

To me, they always seem very varied in the amount of colour they have.

Good shot.

Landing on gorse looks to be a tricky manouevre.

I have seen a few more of them this year as they have been about locally.
