Cheers Jason, I took it out the car window and didn't know which one. Your probably the most clued up birder I know, you know everything ;-)

Had a look at your other whitethroat pictures on your flickr site.
Superb shots.

Thanks so much David, I really appreciate your comments mate. I'm on a lucky run at moment, before I go out on each session I decide on one bird and concentrate on it and it's much more effective than going out trying for a few different species. I was getting side tracked before and getting no where fast and wasting time. The last two nights there been a peregrine working the golf course beside my house so I have a high vantage point in mind to try get it in the frame. If the weather improves I'll try this week. Hopefully the next pic you will see is Peregrinis Falco, just don't hold your breath :-)
