Savi's Warbler (Locustella luscinioides)

Look what I've found during the last weekend!!! o:) It's a lifer, one I never thought I'd get because they are difficult to spot as far as I know (in fact it's not a very often photographed bird) but this was there in the open, singing away its characteristic monotonous tune (a pic of it singing, soon in my "illustrated diary" ). Understandable, I was dying to share it with everybody!!! |=)|
