My first time seeing/photographing a Reed Warbler, so I am happy with this. I thought Sedge Warblers are shy these guys are in another league, but it did show its self a few times. Still haven't managed a clean background/foreground so I will be out again! C&C appreciated.

Taken locally in farmland, West Sussex.

1/800s f/6.3 ISO200 400mm monopod

This is nice Liam - could perhaps benefit from a touch more USM. I actually like this bg - it says a lot about the secretive nature of these birds and their habitat. I like the composition too.

Nice shot of this bird in its natural habitat.

Nice shot, I like the reeds etc in this shot, it shows off the habitat well. The white sky behind does distract for me, but I'm guessing theres not much you could have done there!
