Willow Warbler
One from yesterday. This little fellow was patrolling up down a length of hedgerow stopping at various points to proclaim his territory.

Techs:

E-500, 300/f2.8 + 1.4tc, ISO 200, 1/400th @ f5.6, -2/3rds EV
Cropped about 25%, levels, USM

C & C welcome

Tough bird to get and tough to isolate. Shame about the pose really as a headturn towards you would have been nice. :toast:

Sharp shot.
Not too keen on your shooting angle here, but goo to get a clear shot of one of these illusive little beggars.
I've always found that for shooting hedgerows you need very soft light to keep the highlights and shadows in check
