I spy

I was out taking my camera for a walk early this morning, and I was delighted with all the bird song around me. I'm usually neither patient nor clever enough to find a singing bird, but this morning I was successful in spying three different birds after hearing their song. This one was tucked away in the tall reeds, but I managed to find an angle to catch him. Can anyone tell me what it is?


I have been trying to follow the 'shoot as if you had a film in the camera' prompt, and was certainly more careful in not snapping away carelessly as soon as I see something interesting. Although I confess, it was my first time out with the camera - just because - for a while, and I was a little over excited at times.

Catching up on 365 has been a struggle these last days, and I have prioritised getting my photos done over viewing and commenting - which feels rather selfish. Usually I will stay up late and spend hours on this, but I am suffering with some kind of rsi and so am having to restrict myself.

Sorry my friends. I hope to find a way sooner or later.
Wonderful capture and beautifully framed. I am in a similar boat with huge gaps in May and the beginning of this month, with very few worthy photos available to plug the gaps. Hope the rsi improves soon.

Great capture of what I think is a Reed Warbler.

@judithdeacon thank you . Yes, I now have it on my husband's authority, that it is a reed warbler.

such a fab shot! i love the natural framing and the focus is wonderful. i find it soooooo difficult to photograph birds - hats off to you. very sensible to prioritise your images and just comment when you can. i have a similar rsi issue, which i think comes from too much playing in photoshop/lightroom :(

Fabulous shot. I love how there is always somebody on 365 who can identify things for us.

Great image. Those little birds are the hardest to photograph. Sorry I don’t know what it is.

This is a fantastic shot of a reed warbler. They are very difficult to photograph as they stay so low in the reeds and I often hear them but can’t see them Fav

Lovely, like looking through a little grass window frame. You've captured him perfectly Helen.
