Evensong

Taking the dog out on our last wander of the day, I could hear a bird singing its little heart out in the gathering dusk. It took me a little while to spot him and then, suddenly, there he was! Perched on a wire high amongst the oleander bushes, he was starkly silhouetted against the darkening sky and obligingly stayed put while I got my camera out and grabbed a quick blip.

I've no idea what bird he was as I only saw his outline, but he was very tiny indeed to have such a crisp, clear and melodious voice!
