Some Garden Warblering!

With no Tern passage at Priorslee and very little of anything else around
the edges it was of to the Nedge to see how the Wheatears were fairing.
As I arrived there was a burst of song from the other side of the road,
The song was familiar but as usual I had to take a minute or two to recall the species.
 Garden Warbler it was and that was one bird I was after getting a decent shot of,
now normally I find them skulky little buggers, but this blighter was proving to be
the exception but still difficult to pin down.


The normal view I tend to get of these real Little Brown Jobs.



But he went against the grain a few minutes later when another male tried to out sing him.



It was really great to get such prolonged views of this little songster.



A check at Venus Pools only provided a Great Crested Grebe in a flap.


A Lapwing strutting his stuff in front of the hide.


So with only Sedge Warbler being new for the year it was an early gohome.
