One of my favourite types of light for bird photography is a light cloud cover which gives a soft diffused light and allows me to shoot in the middle of the day. August is such a great time to head for the hills in Scotland to photograph birds in the colourful heather.
Join me today as I photograph the wheatear before it migrates south to Africa.
