A bird that you will often hear rather than see, is the Cetti's Warbler. Notoriously tricky to pick out of the undergrowth where they like to skulk and hide, they will tease you with a unusually loud song. Just when you think you may have nailed down where it was last calling, it sings from deep within a different bush. Seemingly it can teleport. On this particular day I got lucky as it raised it's whole self up into the reeds to give me a brief glimpse. Don't be fooled by the picture. It wasn't there long at all.

Curlew
A flock of Black-tailed Godwits, and if you can pick out the smaller bird that is left of centre, a Long-billed Dowitcher, with an Avocet two birds below it.
Long-billed Dowitcher just above the highest Avocet on the left.
Wow, great collection of birds and photos. The Warbler is pretty, the Curlew is a favorite. Great captures of the Godwits in flight. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteHow neat to get pics of that little bird and the birds in flight? Amazing! To capture so many in a single photo is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful snaps! The Warbler pictured looks so innocent and sweet. I like to belieive that most things in nature are.
