With thanks to Mags (Sylvia borin)

My first Garden Warbler. A poor shot, but it's a start. Inspired by Mags, I listened to the songs on line, so thought I knew what I was hearing there in the orchard at the far end of the lake. I tiptoed after the bird as it flew from tree to tree, further and further away from me. Caught three shots when it moved to the front of the third tree, then it flew out of that old orchard entirely. So, as I said, a poor shot, but ID forum confirmed that it's a Garden Warbler so now I know for sure what I'm listening and looking for. Maybe I'll get a better shot one day. Thanks for all the images and info. They helped me find this one |=)|
