I'm afraid I have not been very active on the forum of late due to domestice projects which have severly curtailed my photography. These should come to an end by early August when I hope to get out & about again!

This image was taken during May close to my home!

Very nice shot David - good combination of environmental detail and the bird itself.

Couldn't ask it to use the perch any better - both feet fully in view as well as the nice bloom below. And pin sharp detail in the eye. Great one David

Smart birds are Whitethroats when you can get one in full view that is.
The contrasting white flowers setting things off.
