    Spent an hour pottering around at Lavell's this afternoon, got mostly Damselflies, but heard this chap singing and laid an ambush.

    Yes they do look similar, although the beaks are much bigger, an easy confusion though.

    Your hour was well spent, Rolf!

    I particularly like the 1st and 4th pics - splendid definition of the Whitethroat with subtle yet complementary background.

    Oh yes, lovely captures - and very pretty shots too. Nice to see a Reed Warbler hanging on a reed
