Eurasian Reed Warbler

Photo Information

Against all the odds, after all, this is one of our most elusive summer visitors, with the light fading, hence the use of on-camera flash, and with an Irix 150mm Macro lens

Not the 'perfect photo' but, personally, an immensely satisfying one to have taken

This one cries out for a border, A refreshing, impressive shot, especially for its out-of-focus foreground AND background. Like.

The grid of reeds only emphasises its inaccessibility and rarity. I thinks its a super shot.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

You did well to get the bird in focus, well done.
