Singing its heart out

I believe this is a plover. Anyway, I spotted it down by the river the other day. I was attracted to it by its song and then saw it perched on a rather fetching bit of old tree.

This is beautiful! Love the bird singing his heart out, so soft and fragile against the spikiness of this old tree.

[Graeme Stevens]

Great focus - loving the spiky punk rock tree ;)

[Monique]

Agreeing with Graeme 👍

[Valerie Chesney]

A delightful capture....

[Babs]

How sweet, he really is singing his heart out.

[Sarah Bremner]

Birdsong is just the best this year with so little superfluous sound!

[Mona]

Wonderful capture, and I love how you composed it.

[Merrelyn]

He's certainly chosen an interesting perch, lovely capture.

[Bep]

Lovely capture, Issi. Just wishing I could hear him singing...

[Cazzi]

I love this photo! I can almost hear that little bird. Fav!

[Pat Knowles]

Well this makes a beautifully co ordinated picture! I wouldn’t have known it was a plover...have heard of them but I’m not that good on birds except for the usual garden birds. Fave.

[Margaret Brown]

Love how this little soul is singing it’s heart out!

and so blended to the landscape!

[Margo Sayer]

Splendid detail and muted shades.

What I really love about this shot is that it's not the usual scene- the jagged tree seems like such an odd place to sing but here is this little fellow just giving off one grand concert. Excellent shot!

It is right at home and is quite camouflaged among the dead wood.

[Milanie]

Wonderful clarity

[Islandgirl]

Nicely captured on this wonderful textured old tree!

[Tunia McClure]

Probably a loud song for a tiny bird.

[Taffy]

Great combination of the bird and tree -- the bird looks like he's got a lot to say!

[Lee]

Wonderful shot of this bird, they do sing beautifully.
