Late addition to Auchmithie pictures

Originally I didn't spend any time trying to identify this bird so it's out of sequence on the blog. Today a week later I've confirmed it is a male Whitethroat which I'd never knowingly seen before. Apparently they are summer vistors and spend the winter in Africa, South of the Sahara. According to the RSPB there are as many as 945,000 breeding pairs in the UK so it's definitely not rare. This one didn't let me get close enough for a good picture, I expect he was trying to lead me away from a nest.
