Warblers for WBW

click to enlarge
In the darknes of the forest a bird is singing. It took me a long while to locate it. I got one decent shot of it. But as I am bad on the songs I had to take the ID from a video where I could recognize the song. It is a Grönsångare - Phylloscopus sibilatrix - Wood Warbler

Sävsångare - Acrocephalus schoenobaenus - Sedge Warbler

This bird too is a "hard to get" bird. Moving constantly among the reeds.  As soon as you locate it it is moving. These are the only ones I´ve seen of those species this year. So far anyway.

  6. Any warbler shot is an acheivement. I'm crazy about the second picture in the reeds. Such a perfect feel and composition!

  8. mmmmm ME Like ;)
    Jätte fina bilder att få se bilder på fåglar är ett stort nöje och det är alltid väldigt intressant att se vad det är för sort .. de flesta känner man ju tyvärr inte till utan att kolla i fågelboken.. även om man har sett namnet på dom ett par gångar får jag ändå kolla :)
    hm.. kan det ha med åldern att göra ..minnet .. eller ;)
