Hi Peter,

It's wonderful to get a photo of a Warbler caught in the midst of a song. I assume he is as small as the Warblers we have here. I love the face, eye and beak and my eye doesn't want to travel further than that. But it did - and the entire shot is lovely.

Hallo Peter,

Een mooie compositie van die Kleine Karekiet. Zo te zien heb je hem net geschoten dat hij erg druk is met zijn territorium bevestigen. Ik vind het bijzonder dat je hem niet in het riet hebt aangetroffen maar in een - zo te zien - Els? POV, DOF en BG zijn goed.

Mooi plaatje. Groeten Bob

That is a lovely post, Peter. I like the bright light coming onto the bird while the background is totally white. I like seeing only the silhouetted branches against that light background with the bird singing and looking so unified with its environment. Great shot, thank you!

Reed Warbler's great capture, when it singing by full open bill. Many times, I observed and take it. Great timing and focus. Nicely composed and noted with good information.

Hallo Peter
Great stuff. Lovely close-up. Like the angle in which you have photographed the bird. From below as well as from the side. Different to the usual pose. I like the wide open beak and marble round black eye. Thanks for sharing image as well as information. Kind regards.

I love these shots where the birds have their beaks open, as if singing or complaining!
Very well done, Peter!

Hi Peter!

Hard to capture bird, but low POV isn't bad. Good moment and pose with opened beak - I almost hear warbler's song :-)

Splendida cattura, eccellenti POV e composizione per la bellissima posa canora, ottima definizione, perfetta esposizione con una resa brillante dei colori anche con le difficoltà di luce. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hello Peter,
I can see that this is a Reed Warbler, even though the angle, that it is in an alder tree and POV is unusual.
Nevertheless this is a sharp and well exposed image and set in a fine composition.
TFS this interesting fine image,
Ivan

Hallo Peter,

Goede compositie maar de aachtergrond vind ik niet erg mooi.
Is dit de fitis?
Vogeltje staat er wel weer goed scherp en gedetaileed op.

Een grote bek opzetten, noemen ze dit.:-)
En hij is nog scherp ook.
Goed gedaan
Bedankt

Nice calling out shot of the reed warbler, Peter.

These must be a fine set of little birds to see and photograph.
A nice image showing the warbler with its opne beak suggesting its calling out or singing.I cna imagine how you would have had to go for this PoV.This is also perhaps the firs time i am seeing the reed warbler sitting on the tree! I wonder whether you too were surprised to find the bird atop a tree.

Despite this difficult Pov and the tricky plain skies as Bg, you manged to light up the bird well and show its details and that too with a catchlight in its eye.Very well done.

TFS & Cheers
