I usually like my photographs to be 'clean' but I like this Whitethroat photo taken on 5th September 2012 - I hope you might like it too?

The whitethroat is a medium-sized warbler, about the size of a great tit. It has quite a long tail which it flicks and cocks as it darts rapidly in and out of cover. The male has a grey head, a white throat and a brown back, and is buff underneath. It is a summer visitor and passage migrant, with birds breeding widely, although it avoids urban and mountainous areas. It winters in Africa, south of the Sahara.

This beautiful male Whitethroat was photographed at Pulborough Brooks in West Sussex during 2010

I hope that you like him!
