That past few weeks I've been spending most I've my photography time at my local reed beds (due to the hares refusing to play with me this year!).
Of the three warblers that frequent the area - Sedge, Reed and Cetti - the Sedge is by far the most accommodating when it comes to photography as they are more willing to climb a reed and pose. The Reed Warblers tend to climb the reeds only to fly off immediately. The Cettis...well I've yet to see one clearly down there!
This is one from yesterday evening when there was a brief window of bright overcast light. I believe the guest for dinner is a black-tailed skimmer but I'm ready to be put right.
A brilliant shot Simon. You could take a sliver from the left but that is very minor. Detail is great and the complimentary background / environment sets off the bird very nicely. Spot on.
