A long overdue world (!) tick for me...
Not the easiest bird to photograph, with a short early morning venture out of the undergrowth and onto the roadside grass, then spending the day in what perhaps could be described as a shady dell.
Finally, a favoured route was identified and a hand held rapid succession of photographs obtained.
So the pictures... in non-timely order.
A smashing bird to see.

Image from first sequence out on roadside grass... bad position for me with the pipit just over a ridge!
|
 |
| In the dark, dark dell. ISO 1600, 1/80th second exposure... |
 |
| As above, in the "dell" |
 |
| Finally in a better position for better images... handheld 500mm, ISO 1250! |
 |
| and we're off!.... |
In addition - a putative Blythii Lesser Whitethroat... called just like a great tit!

Superb set of images John in what I assume must have been difficult light; you set the bar so high!
