Whitethroat giving it some!

[John Robinson]

Whitethroat in" full Wellie"- as they say in Lincolnshire!
They usually skulk about in the undergrowth, but they pop up singing now and then.They have a dancing little song flight too- often above the nest site.

Hi John,
Love to see that Whitethroat in full voice - great pose, and clear eye.
Background is less to my taste - but understand that is most of what was there.

Thanks for sharing, Gerald

[John Robinson]

Thanks both.
es they certainly are skulkers.
here's one of the same bird doing his little song flight(big crop) Not a winnerbutinteresting.
It seems as though my colour issues have gone away as I have,nt had any adverese comments for a while(touch wood!)
Thanks again.

Hi John, lovely singing pose here, and I really like the IQ in this. You have captured a great angled pose and HA, and the bird is nicely separated from the BG nicely.

[John Robinson]

Thanks Stu- I must admit this is not my usual sort of photography(To old to carry the lens about!) - and I got very few keepers out of a great many shots.
