Bird in a Bush
Willow warbler ( Some one could make it a Wood warbler maybe ?)
Had a great time in the garden today. Swarms of Warblers descended and spent most of the time in this large white Buddleia bush. Chiffs Willows and a possible Wood. Got some great stuff out of my study window. Fighting, sunbathing etc. Pain with exposure though as you can imagine. More to come.
D200 Sigma 50-500mm
400 ISO

300th sec f8. Resting on window sill
EV and contrast down to cope with white flowers.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did watching them.
Cheers

All I get on my buddleja are cabbage whites and the odd large tortoiseshell :frown: Looking forward to see what else you come up with. :smile:

Very nice image John, although a bit of seperation of the birds head would have been nice!

Can't make it a wood warbler John, but it's a cracking shot.
