Whitethroats

 I've been watching several pairs of Whitethroats on territory as I walk our dogs each morning. Yesterday I spotted a male with food in its beak so thought it was time to try to get some photos.
It turned out easier than I had expected as despite a few grumbling alarm calls they continued feeding their brood in a dense bramble patch and every now and again stopping to pose for the camera.

Good captures Adrian, first and last are my favourites here.

Yes, I agree Bob, but I put the others in just in case you thought it was a flash in the pan. Am aiming to give it another go tomorrow (weather permitting).
