Gosh!!! Those feather edges are just beautiful!!! It looks like someone has been busy with a pot of gold paint!!!

A wonderful picture you've taken of this lovely phalarope Cristian - many thanks for sharing him with us.

A most beautiful image of this bird, Cristian. I like the subtle shades of colour of the plumage and the muted backdrop.

Gorgeous shot, Cristian! Gorgeous bird, of course, and an excellent shot to show it :D
And thanks for getting me to double-check the warbler. I think you were right. It seemed much more yellow to me than Chiffchaffs, but the juveniles are yellower, and Willow Warblers don't have those dark legs. I've corrected the post.
