A Whitethroat Pair


Whilst out searching for butterflies I happen to hear a familiar machine like chatter in the hedgerow.
On closer inspection I observed two Whitethroat working their way through the hedgerow in order to feed their young.  I took a few rapid shots of the pair and left, as they were obviously trying to avoid revealing the whereabouts of their nest.

    Hi Roy,

    This is a nice double catch, I think they are funny birds to see. I don't see them very often and making pictures is hard. So you did well, even a pair! Very very nice. Hope you'l manage to see the babies later this year.

    Regards,
    Marianne

    That first shot is pretty cool. I can be tough to get a pair of birds in one frame.

I have just looked at the last post of butterflies which are exquisite and I loved the cows in the previous post. I'm trying to catch up, with great difficulty!!! Have a great weekend. Margaret

      Thanks GG.
      Yes that one is saying, "Does he actually know what he is doing with that camera."

    One is great but two is a real treat Roy. They don't often show themselves for me. Lovely photos.

    The Common Blue photos on the last post were superb! I only saw one or two last year and none at all so far this year. The photos of the Great Crested Newt were great too. Not seen one since I was a child!

    Great shots! It is always hard to decide when we have "bothered" a bird long enough with our camera. I start feeling guilty for interrupting whatever they are doing. I'm glad you got such good shots, but also left them undisturbed.
