    Smashing shot Stoycho. Your son has a great future in wildlife
    photography.

    It’s hard to say, but it looks like an adult so she’s probably incubating.
    At a guess, a willow warbler.

    Thank you Pete and Malacht.

    He likes nature,likes to take picture.Hope to keep this in future, he is only 13.5 years old.

    The nest of bird is very small.One tiny chick inside.Next time will try to see, warbler or not.

    Well, I got an expert opinion and it’s a chaffinch. I’d never have got it myself.

    It is a very difficult
    angle but you can make out the olive cheeks and the white in the tail
    which both point to chaffinch. The position of the nest in the fork of a
    tree like this is also classic Chaffinch, as is the construction.
