I'd only seen one previously that had stuck around for a couple of weeks in Bramhall a few years ago.
Brilliant little birds, with a great song that makes their bodies shudder. It's similar to the Willow Warbler but has bright yellow upper parts and lovely white under parts.
This one was still singing as the rain and then hail came down. It made it a lot easier for me to find him.
A Wood Warbler with a sense of humour. :))
ReplyDeleteHow I love warblers and your images of the Wood Warbler are stunning. We have Willow Warblers which visit in our summer months and I enjoy them so... Thanks for sharing. Jo
