Sedge warbler in song
Went back to have another go at these today in much more favourable light conditions. The birds stayed well down in the vegetation, I guess due the very high wind, but I managed to get a few decent shots. This one is about 90% of the frame.

Nicely captured with its beak wide open in song. Nice comp & perch with a good BG showing some enviroment.

Fantastic timing - shame about the foliage behind the beak but still a cracking image.
