Over exposed record shot of the Wheatear

I'd just spent 4 hours in the garden weeding and grass cutting and when I'd finished I turned around to see a bird land on the roof of my house. Knowing what it was but not quite believing it I carefully walked indoors and grabbed my scope and carefully walked back into the garden and set up my scope without trying to scare it away. I managed the one photo above before it did fly off. Amazingly it was a 1st winter/female Wheatear! Whether it'd been tempted down by me doing the garden and thinking there might be an easy meal I don't know but of all the roofs to pitch down on it chose mine!
