Oh what a catch!
The colors, the moment, bokeh is excellent
How much time you spent to have a good take for these birds? This must be very close
Can you explain a bit your technique?
Thank you, I really enjoy your photos
By the way birds name this time is mixed Greek-Latin

Hi Nasos,
This bird was in thick bush and I heard its song, I was able to follow the bird for quite awhile, it took me some time till I get some OK shots without twigs, leaves or branches too much in the way. It certainly didn't sit still for very long.
Here's some websites with recordings of the birds song -
