 I took these shots in the end of may as they just arrived back to Sweden. It sang beautifully. This is the male. I did see the female too but she was shy and did not want her picture taken.

As far as I can tell this is a juvenile. It seemed to sit there and screem for food.

probably a female


Comments on Artportalen on help to identify the bird:
1 Jo törnsångare stämmer bra med ljus strupe och brun rygg vad jag kan se.
     correct, with white throat and brown back shows it is the whitethroat
2 Törnsångare stämmer bra,då iris verkar lätt gulaktig så är det ingen ungfågel,den bör vara 2 år eller äldre,alltså 2+, en ungfågel (10) född i år har mörk iris.

  correct, as the eyes iris seem a bit yellowish is shopws it is no young bird. It is probably 2 years or older. A young bird, born this year has a dark iris.
