Morning all. While walking the dog, I noticed a couple of Whitethroats in the hedgerow. Obviously had a nest as back and forward with food. I have spent 2 days, getting wet and covered in mud trying to capture them from the field side. No decent shots. Last night I went for a walk with the camera in the hope to try to capture them. Again nothing decent. Then just as I had decided enough, I heard them calling as I passed a bush. Not the parents, but their 3 beautiful fledglings. Unfortunately the sun was behind them, and I was so scared to move in case they took off. These shots are hand held. I am pretty hopeless at cloning out the rubbish, so will put up mods for anyone who wants a mess around. Thanks for C&Cs on yesterday's upload.

Lovely pair. I'll try a mod later when I drag myself off my iPad and up to my Big Mac.
I get to be 30 for being so late. Don't know where yesterday vanished to. Two hungry wee birds looking expectantly for dinner arriving soon.

Two crackers, Moira, but V2 has to be my fave, for the way the two outer ones are looking at you! ![]()
