Whitethroat flying

Not an easy shot by any means so I was quite pleased with this. I stood for ages in Wood Lane by the brambles waiting for the whitethroat to show as I could hear them in there. He decided to fly away and I managed to get a few shots but this one was probably the clearest.

Thanks as always for all your kind comments and favs - it is always much appreciated.

Can totally relate! Great job, and clearly a difficult shot to take.

I've been taking tons of pictures of birds and always love when I catch them in flight - this is very good :)

[Graham Thresher]

Great timing, so difficult to capture.

So unusual to see him flying without his legs or wings flapping!

@darylo @not_left_handed @thresheg @carolmw @khirsch @esox @busylady @pplutz Thank you. They are so hard to capture as you cannot predict where they will be due to their up and down movement. I did get some pics of swifts too but not too good - they are also amazingly difficult to shoot as they dart all over the place
