Whitethroat dinner
As I mentioned in reply to Alan Woolnoughs post of a whitethroat earlier today, I had a bit of luck this weekend by finding some myself. I managed to get a few decent frames, some showing the bird in good frontal light but the ones I preferred had quite strong sidelight. This meant I lost some detail in some of the whites (though no doubt some of you computer whizzkids could sort that out PP) but overall I was very happy with the pics, especially as I haven't photographed these before. I went back tonight after work and the light was flatter so managed a few more detailed shots but haven't processed them yet.

Nice detailed shot and nice to see in the environment. The spider meal looks great too..

That's a good shot - nice eye contact, crest raised and a nice spider for starters. Really nicely lit too.
