Dear all,
Since two weeks I'm working on a project with European stonechats. This beautiful bird species was on my wish list for some time. Especially the male with it's black, white, and orange tones are quite photogenic. Two weeks ago I found a pair of them in a nature reserve near my hometown. It took some time to get them customed to that strange guy with his small hide and photo equipment, but at the moment they are cooperative. Next step was to compose the set-ups that were in my head. One of them was the stonechat male on a meadow pole with flowering cow parsley in the background. Last week I took the picture that was in my head with the right light conditions. Hopefully they will stay in the area for some weeks as the creative process never stops!
See you,
Dirk-Jan
