reed warbler

Another from the Reservoirs. Doctors this morning, back later

Not the same one|=)|

I didn't get to the Doctors because, as ridiculous as it sounds, I wasn't well enough to travel, lol. Oh well, I'm going Wednesday instead. Anyway, you might get sick of Reed Warblers soon, as I waited them out, and got loads of pics when they perched in the open. BTW, it works for all birds...

I like to photograph and share what I see, and when the Birds are hiding, it's a bit tricky to do this. There's usually no light and there's foliage in the way. But I don't like to give up, so here's a pic of a Reed Warbler hiding deep in a tree. As I said, foliage in the way, and not much...

From the Reservoirs yesterday. This is full frame; I thought it better to leave it as I saw it, with the whole setting, rather than cropping.

Might be a juve, or it might be the Light. I got quite close to a few of these this morning, so there's a few more pics to come|=)|

Yes, another one from the Reservoirs|=)| I've caught up with what I missed Monday and Tuesday, but need a rest now. I wasn't great for a couple of days, but it was the images loading slowly that kept me away. I don't have as much patience when I feel like crap|=)| All being well, I'll be back...

Reed Warbler.

Only one more RW pic after this, that I'll upload; the others I have are similar poses/settings.

Another Reed Warbler from the Reservoirs; different bird and setting. As I said before; these really were all over the place, bushes, trees, and loads singing in the reeds. Due to the poor light, this was quite noisy, so I've lost some detail by smoothing out the noise. (BTW, if you're in...

This was taken on the same day as the other RW pics that I've uploaded, but it was about a mile away from the other bird. Poor light, and it was in a bush; so I thought it interesting seeing how different the colours are to the bird in good light. Quite a lot of image noise, due the ISO and...

From the Reservoirs on Tuesday; a bit noisy in places, but I can't be bothered to smooth it out|=)|.

Managed an hour at the Reservoirs, and seemed unable to avoid Reed Warblers. I lost count of how many I saw and heard; so, unsurprisingly, I've lots of pictures.|=)| Here's the first; back later when I've sorted out some of the 100s of pics that I took.

Hopefully nobody noticed, but I deleted my Coot image that I just uploaded (I said I couldn't decide if I liked it or not|=)|) Anyway, here's a Reed Warbler instead. There's loads of these at the Reservoirs, but Fishing has restarted, so I doubt I'll catch many at the top of the reeds.

Reed Warbler

This one lived up to its name and stayed hidden in the reeds for ages.

Another from yesterday morning's birding. Shame about the reed covering its bill...

Managed a couple of hours at the Reservoirs this morning. 500+ pics to sort out, but this is the first Reed Warbler I've caught in the open this year.

This one was quite a distance away, but I think it shows off the habitat too.
