Sardinian warbler - (Sylvia melanocephala)

I photographed this Sardinian warbler male - (Sylvia melanocephala), free in the wild, with Nikon D850, Sigma supertele 300-800mm, f / 7.1, 1/2000 sec, ISO 500. The Sardinian warbler has distinct male and female plumages. The adult male has a gray back, whitish underparts, black head, white throat and red eyes. Thanks for your comments

Pierre said it, Giangiorgio - "pure perfection." You captured the essence of this amazing creature. If the eye is the window to the soul, then it follows unmistakably that this bird has one. Although it's usually said that the human eye goes to the brightest area in the person's field of vision, my eye is drawn by an ineffable force to the bird's eye with its interesting structure and its color. - - My best always, michael - - Ciao!!
