I think this is about your best yet. !The windblwn bit on the wing is a shame but not the end of the world. Good positioning and nice and sharp.

Ah so thats what these things look like close up! - an excellent capture of a difficult subject, at least I have always found to be so.

The only times I have come across these in Spain is as a small dot aping a skylark high in the sky but going zit,zit,zit (hence its other common name - zitting cisticola)
