Reed Warbler Singing
I am at a bit of a loose end at the mo and have not got out much lately, weather has been poor so here is a shot from the summer. Reed Warblers are difficult birds to photograph as they don't show themselves that often but this one did briefly and I managed a couple of shots.

Canon EOS 1D Mk11, 500mm Lens, 1.4x Convertor, F5.6, 1/250, ISO 200.

As Justin says, very nice indeed Danny :toast: :toast:

I might be tempted to remove that short in focus reed sticking up on the right, but now I'm being picky :biggrin:

Superb Danny! I never seem to get these out in the open (probably a lack of dedication on my part! :rolleyes: )

I agree with Andy about cloning out the thin reed but like he says, that is being picky!

One of my favourites Danny. See my post of 08/14/07. I've taken loads of these at Titchwell where on the right day and right time they can be photographed from the footpath. Get there on another day and you just will not see them.

A really nice image.

Great shot Danny,

Small nit maybe the green OOF reed but great other than that.

The reed doesn't bother me - all part of where they operate. Lovely pic and lovely light

Hi Danny - classic reed Warbler pic - all you needed was that little bit of water vapoured breath as well :wink: :smile:
