two birds i saw at larvell...

Think the first is a reed bunting, and the second a black cap but please help me check... ta..

Certainly looks to be the case Billy, Reed Warblers are pretty elusive, well done capturing one.:)

they have the oddest call which is what got me looking in the first place... he was happy as larry well both of them were...:thumbsup:

.. and on (what looks like) a reed - fantastic!!!

Can't be sure about the first photo

this is the sequance hope it helps not sure if it does..
cheers for the replys guys..

Have you checked out a Sedge Warbler, Billy?

Actually on reviewing and zooming in a bit i think Catherine is closer with Sedge Warbler, they have a much wider and defined eye stripe.:)

just found sound clips for both and id say the noise it made was nearer sedge warbler than reed... how cool...

REALLY cool, Billy! I am so pleased for you to have seen what I've only (knowingly) seen in a pic!:thumbsup:

Rolf, only 'closer'?:eek:

Now, I need a bigger boost than that from the guy who is the expert at ID'ing Crister's birds!:4-bounce:

LOL, well I say closer, as I find warblers really difficult to identify, as they can look so similar. :)
