Bluethroat! :D
Had a really good day yesterday, saw all we went to Dungarven to see and more! Couldn't fault it - it was epic! Saw the bird we went to see, the Bluethroat, also saw Buff Bellied Pipit and Purple Sandpiper 
Anyway - Bluethroat pics!

A relatively big twitch, with a few rarities (the Buff Bellied of course as well as the Bluethroat)... and this is what it was like!
We saw 3 other birders all day! I love this country!

Your bird pictures are lacking in Doves Z 
(only joking and that's all I seem to get)
Another cracking set. Looks like you had a very good day birding, twitching, jigging or whatever it's called

Fantastic Laura, I really like shots 3 and 5. But I love the colour saturation of the plumage in shot 4.

Bluethroat - that's one I would be able to recognise.
Number 5 is my own favourite.
