A short while ago I was watching the House Sparrows actually forcing the Starlings to vacate the feeders when I happened to notice a different bird on the cables leading to the shed. At first glance I thought it was a Blackcap. Anyway I grabbed the camera which I always leave on multi shot and fired off a few seconds. It wasn't until I looked at the results and checked with my books that what I had seen best fitted the pictures and description of the Lesser Whitethroat. Definitely a first for my garden whatever it was.
YES! that's me done. A grand picture of whatever it is.
ReplyDeleteWow John!
ReplyDeleteSuperb pictures; and yes, a Lesser. What a fantastic garden visitor. Nice one.
Thanks Adrian.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ID Keith. I was lucky it stayed out in the open for a short while.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, John... love your new visitor and photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you Shirl. I was really lucky to be looking out of the kitchen window for the short time it was there.
ReplyDeleteNicely captured of a cute bird!

What a beautiful little bird :) It's exciting to find a new visitor to photograph, isn't it?
