Lesser Whitethroat
Lesser Whitethroat / sylvia curruca. Attenborough, Nottinghamshire. 11/06/21.
'SMORGASBORD ... WITH LEGS.'
A very diligent, hard working Lesser Whitethroat.
Both parents were experiencing no difficulty in gathering food for their young in the immediate area around the bramble nest site.
This particular food delivery was a varied smorgasbord, offering plenty of roughage in the form of legs - impressive!!!
It was a great privilege to observe the parental duty patterns/ behaviours of these summer visitors. Lesser Whitethroats are usually quite secretive and skulking in my experience.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
