Sedge Warbler singing
Well after becoming a fully-fledged member, I registered but strangely decided to change my guests username slightly...doh! My stats are now 0 posts and 0 comments and I am abrand new contributor :frown:

Still, I'm now a member :cool:

Anyway, the 2nd and last of my Sedge warbler post this time singing. As I said before, it's a hard bird to isolate from it's preferred shrubs and bushes, so spent a long time waiting for this and the previous shot. I'm pretty chuffed with it all in all. Again, the background wasn't planned. I was just very lucky!!

Any comments appreciated

Graeme

Another superb Sedge shot Graeme. You were indeed very lucky to isolate from the usual background.

Well done. :toast:
