Young whitethroat and a goldfinch

[sypix]

Tooks this today, at Rosliston Forestry Centre. He was lurking in the bushes.


And my first golfinch (bit of a heavy crop).

nice shots there-first one is not a dunnock, it's a young whitethroat

Lovely images - the first one in particular is really great (imho) - what lens did you use to get such a close and sharp image?

Number one is top notch great detail

Couldn't agree more.........and the Goldie is pretty good as well

that first one is very nice, maybe a little to big in the frame though

That first one is an absolute corker champion detail.

Two nice shots Simon, #1 is a corker but as mentioned not so much of a crop would finnish it off nicely. Well done

Thanks everybody. May try to rework it with a smaller crop. The reason i cropped it like that is because, as said, he was in the bushes, and there were lots of leaves, twigs etc in the way. His bum is still a bit obscurred, but it was the best I could do.

BirdieOzzie - thanks for the ID. Title amended accordingly. Another first for me then
Alistair - This was taken with a Canon 100-400mm L IS lens.

2 beautiful shots, theyre pretty damn secretive those whitethroats as adults so you did super well to get a young'un.
