All these wonderful birds finding their way back to Holland. This male bluethroat is one of the most colourful birds in my area and can't get enough of them. Their song is amazing.

Super shot, Edwin. The BG is flawless and the way it fades from the brown into the green is very nice. Smart perch too. No nits from me.

A real beauty, Edwin. I like the perch, and the uniform background. I need to find my way back to Holland myself one day...

Great bird and a superb background. I like the way it is clinging onto the dead leaves, which make a great perch.
