This nightingale was extremely forthcoming - there were at least three others nearby who only sang from deep cover but this one came out in the open if you waited (and we spent 6 hours waiting!!)

What a brilliant shot Pauline. 6 hours is a long time to wait for any shot but this was well worth it.

Can only add to the others saying, worth every second of that wait. What a corker.

Fabulous capture Pauline. Six hours immersed in Nightingale song must have been some compensation for the wait!

Thanks guys - nice to have you back Mark! And yes I can still recreate that time in my mind when I look at these shots - I can hear the song quite clearly - it was quite fabulous in retrospect - tho the anxiety of other phtogs, dog walkers and horse riders coming thro was nerve wracking when it happened just as the bird decided to show !!!
