Bluethroat (Blauwborst; Blaukehlchen; Gorgebleue à miroir; Luscinia svecica)

This is a Bluethroat perching on a branch of a bramble bush which it chose at irregular intervals to sing from, presumably to attract a mate and mark its territory. The Bluethroat is just a wee bit smaller than a (European) Robin L 13 - 14 WS 20 - 23 cms
