The Wheatear was at the same location (1:30-3:00 p.m.) as described 
earlier. When I arrived first the bird was perched quite close presenting a 
"Kodak moment". However my camera didn't cooperate until I noticed the 
self-timer had been accidentally turned on. After that it was difficult to 
approach the bird closer than 30' so I returned to my vehicle for my scope 
hoping to digiscope it. When I returned it had disappeared. I spent about 
30 mins. trying to photograph a day-flying moth and some flying insects 
when returning to the vehicle I flushed the wheatear and it posed within 
10'. I had to change lenses and finally managed a number of photos. 
(Unfortunately it was cloudy as a sunny day would have likely brought out 
the subtle colors).

I have placed them in a separate group(set) and this address will take you 
to the first of 5 pics. Click 'more" on the right for the next photo.
