They're pretty easy birds to photograph, KC.

Just lie down near some rocks and they will eventually turn up, and if you're lying down rather than stood up they don't take much notice of you. Lots of males about at the moment not many females but the sun's shining again today so I'me going to back to see if I can get one of the females.

'Lovely birds to watch in general!
