Excellent closeup of this gorgeous warbler. It makes you wonder, why evolve with cryptic colors and then evolve being noisy? Seems counter productive (lol). Superb Francesca!!!
 
i had one for about two weeks notice it from its clamorous song but did not see it and of course not shots, they are really hard birds to photograph.

great work you did here.

Wow! That's some close-up Francesca. What a super picture.

First I read the name as Glamorous Reed Warbler, then I realized he's just loud-mouthed ;) so is that how you find these guys? Because he looks to be pretty well camouflaged in there.
