Fan-tailed Warbler (Zitting Cisticola)
Thanks for the comments on my last shot.

A break from the Puffins now, and here is one taken in Sicily last week. Not a birding/photography trip by any means, but paid a visit to a nature reserve close by one evening and these chaps were sitting in the long grass against the evening sun, which I thought looked rather nice.

Techs:
Nikon D300s
Nikon 200-400mm f4 VR
Handheld
F5.6
1/800s
ISO 500

Thanks for looking

Oscar :wavey:

Looks pretty good to me, Oscar. I think I would clone out that unsupported seed head on the extreme left, but other than that a great shot.

Very nice and a hard to get image, they have always been singing from cover when I have seen them.

Quality small in frame image, I like the use of the light enhancement.

I love the habitat, the light, the composition, the light through the wings, the low in the sky sunlight a cracking image I wished I had taken right up my street here, one of the best images you have taken. :wink: :wink: :wavey:
