This was one of the last photos I took in 2016. Having just finished my first term of my final year at university, I was keen to get out and do some photography so spent a couple of early mornings at Richmond Park before the end of 2016. On one of these mornings I spotted a pair of stonechats as I was walking between the pen ponds, so got myself into a position to photograph them into the sun as it came up. This ended up being one of my favourite images of the year, with the frosty buds of the trees, and the inclusion of the sun in the bottom right.

Lovely shot Oscar – glad the studying hasn’t impinged too much on the photography! 🙂
Thanks, I try to get out a bit during the holidays
Great wildlife picture.
Thanks Andy
