On my way home today I heard this little willow warbler somewhere in the foliage of a neighbor's overgrown garden. Got my camera out and tried to spot him. He led me on quite the wild warbler chase, even just standing still and turning this way and that. No sooner would I get him in the frame...

on the fly 8-P. Hope you like this. thanks for viewing.

One from my walk on Lakenheath Warren on thursday.
