Mystery songster revealed! (Cettia cetti)

Dipped on the bluethroat by about 20 minutes, and didn't even know about the firecrests and black redstarts. Remarkably, I was lucky enough to capture this, so it was a great day after all!

Well done for getting a shot of a cetti's. They are a nightmare to photograph or even to see. I hear them every day here and have only ever seen one 3 or 4 times. The locals must think that I'm a crazy Englishman when they see me staring at a bush for 10 minutes trying in vain to see a bird that I know is in there and yet cannot see!
 
Yes, good job in your opportunity with this little demons! :t: :t: :t: I totally agree with Stu78, Cetti's Warblers seem to have been invented to fool birdwatchers! o:D Cheers!
