Taken last week as it made its way along a hedgerow, next to where I was waiting for hobbies. I think the noise of the shutter made it pop out for a look around, much to my benefit.

Taken with a Canon 50D and 100-400mm. Minor crop.

Cetti's Warbler, Exminster Marshes, Devon. A few more of it on my Fotopic gallery.

I am so glad you actually managed a clear shot of this. There is one at my local reserve that you can hear from a mile off, but never see! So well done on a very difficult species.

I agree with ther above comment you can hear them but getting to see one is another subject altogether. There are a number at our local reserve but getting one to come out in the open, I am going to try your trick of a few shutter clicks and see if that works, well done.

not the best perch, but to get one out in the open is no small feat, great feild craft
