I think it is a Maricovlieëvanger (Marico Flycatcher). The link has details on some flycatchers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flycatcher

Hi Johan
Lovely shot. Good exposure and point of view. I like the detail. Well done. Thanks.

Nice shot. I like the composition. It's simple and lets you focus on the bird.

Regards,

Tom

Nice picture!
Focus is good and exposure is excellent. The natural framing from the top and bottom branch brings our attention on the bird. The bird detach very well from the blured BG. Great picutre and TFS.
