Another Whitethroat
Taken at the same time as my previous upload within the 3 hour window that I sat waiting for these shots. Taken at Dawlish warren in Devon.
These are constantly on the move in bushes and fly in one side and the next thing you know, they're flying out the other end!! So very pleased to get relatively uncluttered BG's. Techs could have been better, but didn't have much time - I concentrated in getting a safe shot in :wink:

Thanks for the comments on my previous upload.

Any comments appreciated.

Graeme

A fine shot and a good result for your perseverence.
A nice size in the frame and I feel the inclusion of those few bramble leaves works well and adds aditional interest and gives a good indication of surroundings.

Not bad for wee while photographer, if you get any better you'll get irritating. Fantastic shot, great use of light as ever.

Hi Graeme

Another super image, great light and a great pose by the bird. Again fantastic detail and sharpness considering the use of the 2x TC.

Just beautiful again - the eye is perfect - reminds me very much of Dartford Warbler eyes,

sharp, well composed and nice lighting - couldn't ask for more.
