Spotted this bird (Lochside) just outside Kinross House Gardens in Scotland.

I had been trying to take photos of a row of young swallows waiting to be fed and this bird breezed through... straight into a bush. It was tricky to see where it went.

Would love to know what it is |8)|

Thanks, Shirl ||

I would say the same thing o

The Willow Warblers tend to like to sit on the top most branch of a tree so it is easy to photograph them

Not all Warblers are easy to see :t:

Thanks Andrew and chowchilla :t:

Thanks too Peewit :t: you are right it was difficult to spot (in this case) in the middle of the bush. I didn't even know what to focus on.

I've just been back to this area today and captured video footage of a couple of juv swallows being fed. I am thrilled! I'll post footage on my blog over the weekend

Cheers, Shirl
