My favorites are finally back. Such beautiful and elegant birds. I hope they will stay here so I can enjoy a small family.

I was up early this morning to capture mist and sunrise. The sun was still low when I spotted this juvenile Northern Weatear. The low sun made it´s color so soft and rich. I did not see any adults so I guess this one was on it´s own. It will soon turn south as fall is approaching.

 This was yesterdays highlight. While I was looking at the Buzzard I noted the little Northern Wheatear on the ground. First one this season. He is a beauty as much as the Buzzard. There was a female too but she did not want to be on camera. :)

Showing up their spring plumage. I don´t think they were nesting yet. Maybe I should go back to see if I can find them again. And, maybe I can see some young too .  :)
