Glass Half-full ... 13 (Phylloscopus nitidus)

Glass Half-full ... 13

Stolen Moments

... This is only the
second image of this
bird ...
...in BF Database

... first was a long
9 years ago ... in 2007

and ...

This is the only ...
image I could take
... of this little
beauty ... that
Initially we considered
it to be a Chiffchaff ...
... probably Mountain

But we had our doubts ...
so put it in the
ID-section here ...

Where it was promptly
and crisply
identified to be a

Green Warbler
( Phylloscopus nitidus )

Thank you, KGS and
Stuart ...
for giving the
ID and a lifer to us ...

And imagine ... shot with
one arm strapped to the
chest ...

So ... stealing a few
moments does
work wonders
... sometimes ...
