Shot this morning. This is probably the same bird which survived winter here and I have seen it and has some shots from winter and spring. Extremely rare bird to see here where I live.
It was calling desperately to find his/her kind. I hope that it will find courage to fly south were it belongs.
I feel bad for this cute little flycatcher stuck here isolated.
D2Hs, 200-500mm f/5.6

Congrats on capturing this rarity to your area. The Phoebe is attractively posed in nice natural habitat, Ludo. And I like the way you composed this image.

Poor little thing! It does look rather lost in the big old world.

Lovely setting and almost 3D feel to this one, Ludo.
