Stonechat by Daphne Wuenn


Sony RX10 IV, 24-600mm, 1/500sec at f/4, ISO 125


‘A WALK along the beach at Hengistbury Head in Bournemouth is always a great
excuse to get some fresh air,’ says Daphne Wuenn. ‘On this occasion, I wasn’t
expecting many birds to be perched on top of the shrubs, as it was a wet and
windy day, so I was pleasantly surprised
to see this stonechat flying alongside
me, always a few metres ahead. When it
landed on an isolated thorny twig, I saw
my chance to get the image I wanted:
a windswept little bird, clinging on for
dear life and successfully withstanding
the gusts of wind.’ Daphne uploaded
her picture to our Twitter feed using
the hashtag #appicoftheweek.
