Great capture!
Gnatcatchers! Great name - unfamiliar one - but if they are true to their name they could be very welcome in many Old World places too!!

Thanks, Andy. There are 15 to 20 species of gnatcatchers that live only in North and South America. I must say I've never been seriously bothered by gnats here. ;-)

The parents returned every minute or so, but the food portions looked very small to me.
