This is the second time we've been to this location - a river where old gravel working are now overgrown with scrub and grasses (we're looking for new duck sites) - on both occasions this warbler was easy to find in small flocks.Thanks also for the praise for the photo - but that should go to the wife and not me - she does all the pics. We want this one in our  - blog - but just want to see if folk agree with us on Aberrant before we put the picture up.Hope Mr Eaton or indeed any other Bush Warbler boffins pass by and give an opinion.We'll eventually get the pic to OBC and opus.All the bestSid and Meggie</blockquote>
