Male whitethroat. This pair were nesting just on the edge of the village in long grass right at the side of the road. I pulled up quite by chance looking for landscapes when I saw them. Went and got my 500mm and spent a pleasent few evenings photographing them in evening light. This was taken about 9:15pm in June. I know there's a lot of space above the bird but hopefully that's where the magazine title will go

Super shot.
I like the space at the top, but IMO there's to much at the bottom.I'd crop it just above that small leaf on the right side(the one appearing in the shot just bellow the thorne branch).
Other than that

Very nice bird in great light and on an interesting perch.
Will look great on any front cover,IMO.
