Well Choughed
A week on Islay with two superb Winter days and the rest dry with a cold South East wind. I came to concentrate on flight shots of `Chough and I have had two great days with shots like the one featured on my blog.

Amongst a flock of two hundred finches in a stubble field there was one male Brambling present.
