Reed Warbler - Pennington Flash

Go anywhere near a reed bed right now and you're likely to hear the sound of a Reed Warbler. I found a few pairs on a recent visit to Pennington Flash where I was fortunate enough to get some really good views.
They were busy pairing up and chasing each other around, or off territory.
The song has a real range of short bursts. Up and down pitches. Quite often the bird can be hidden down in the reeds, especially if its windy, and that can make it very frustrating to see.


This bird took a moment out in the open.

  1. Really nice shots Adam. Like you say, Reed Warblers stay hidden lots of the time, a habit which makes me appreciate your shots all the more.
