Not the most beautiful bird in the world. Has very interesting voice. Never saw it before i photographed it.
Hope you like it.

Nice BG, perch, and calling pose. Details look pretty good overall but wondering if the head needs a bit more sharpening? The feathers around the beak look just a tad soft but could just be a bird. Nice look at the eye. TFS

Well done Tom a great shot of this little warbler, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the first post on the forum of this species I don't recollect seeing on previously.
I like the pose head would have not been intersected by the stem but the pose is great. For a bird singing such as this I would have definitely gone for 1/1600 sec or 1/2000 sec.

Sure but the conditions that day weren't very good in terms of sun. Considering the fact that there was lot of wind and clouds i think the sharpness is pretty good.

Tom, I agree sharpness doesn't look bad at all, but now you said it was windy, I would have doubly chosen a faster shutter speed.

Yes. Will keep that in mind for the future.
