Now that is a beauty. Nice one.

Very nice Andy.

I'd be tempted to do a little bit of straightforward cloning and get rid of the spurious bit of bramble twig to the right

Nice to see one out in the (relatively) open.. Great shot.

Rare to get one this much out of cover

Agree with Barrie over the bramble twig

Funny I was shooting Whitethroats today but in really bad light. It was the first time this year that I have seen them. Nice clear shot.

That's a wonderful shot of a 'grasmus' Not the most eas bird to capture.
Well done matey.

Lovely sharp, simple image. Can't say I envy sitting on that perch though!
