Songbirds on Skomer




The first two of today's pictures are of a Dunnock perched on a fence post. I was alerted to its presence by its song and at first I couldn't see it until it settled on the post, just long enough for me to take these two shots before it flew off. I am really happy with these pictures as they are so sharp.

The final bird was a puzzle to me at first. I had been watching some skylarks and at first that is what I thought this was, it was too far away for a clear identification at first but now as you can see it is a Whitethroat. As far as I can recall this was the first whitethroat I had ever seen so I'm really pleased with this although as it was on a bramble buffeted by the wind it was hard to get a clean shot.
