Olive-tree warbler (Hippolais olivetorum) Platania Lesvos 01/05/18

Olive-tree warbler (Hippolais olivetorum) Platania Lesvos 01/05/18 (Hippolais olivetorum)

Record shot of this unassuming little grey jobby.
It's taken me many visits to Lesvos over the years (OK I've seen them many times flitting between olive trees) to find one of these birds out in the open. Although some way off , I managed to catch him on camera for this heavy crop.
Thanks to anyone who views my images by the way.

That's a great picture of this warbler Mick.... not a bird we see coming in very often either.

Excellent work lad - very well done.

Congratulations Mick. It is always a treat to finally capture an image of those illusive ones. TFS!
