Bluethroat
Luscinia svecica

(Above) Sailiyah, Doha, Qatar, 11 November 2012 (EOS 7D, 300mm f2.8 + 2x Extender)

After several attempts, I've finally photographed a reasonably close Bluethroat without too much interference from 'ground heat haze'. It's the sort of bird that's difficult to chase for a photo - they just dive into deep cover. The trick is to wait patiently, and to do it in the early morning before the sun bakes the ground!
