YES, a handsome male. He too must have returned a few days ago. We continue here to see them migrating northwards.

...and the tele lens was a helpful acquisition. Once on the picture I can look them up or ask somebody.

Yes, a telephoto lens is a must for birding. For identification, a pair of binoculars can also be very useful when the photo is complicated to get, or even impossible because the bird is too far away. which is often the case for small passerines
