Good detail Stu, and a fine pose!!

Different from the usual UK gorse bush shot, although i find the main diagonal stem a slight distraction.

Either way, its a fine result.

An interesting shot of a juvenile Sardinian Warbler (Sylvia melanocephala)

Agree with Alan that the diagonal branch is a little distracting but nevertheless a nice shot of this species in it's habitat.

Thanks people,appears I took someones word on the I.D and they got it wrong,proves if you want something done right...
I can see the disstraction in the diagonal branch but this is pretty much the only clear shot I got in a week,got some nice shots in shrubs etc,but allways some part of the bird covered.

cheers

Stu.
