Willow Warbler on a stick
Not taken many birds for a while so this one made a change. Taken whilst waiting for a Kingfisher that never turned up.

Only stayed put for about 5 seconds managed to rattle off 5 shots :smile:

Nikon 200-400 f4 VRII N coat

Thanks all :toast:

Geoff: got a really good deal on it but its not stopped raining since I bought it :biggrin:

John: I noticed they were really yellow as well, still they blend into the background. This was about the best crop as they was loads of stuff in the way. This was about the cleanest I could get it. :smile:
