[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Got lucky with this warbler. Spotted it with food in the beak so stalked it to a nearby tree. It then started coming near me...sort of checking me out. Kept real still and to my surprise one of it's fledglings fluttered out of some scrub to within a foot of me. I decided to leave and left them to it.

Hello John,
You got lucky with this warbler so close that it fills the frame greatly and I am lucky because you can show this wonderful bird image to me :)
Excellent composition and wonderful BG, details and catch light in the eye.
Lovely pose of the bird with the insect in it's beak.
Must have been a beautiful expierence to see one of the fledglings come so close to you.
Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes,
Harry

Hola John. Gran calidad en esta bella foto. Muy nitida. Me agrada mucho la pose sobre la rama de estas flores, y la comida en su pico. Luis52.

Hello John,
Fine capture of a hard-working Wood warbler with excellent sharpness and nicely composed on what looks like Whitebeam flowers. Good contrast with the blurred BG.
Well done and TFS!

Hi John,
Stunning picture of this warbler. Not a bird I am familiar with. I see you made your own luck, well done. Pity you didn't get a picture of the chick, or maybe you did.
Regards,
Peter
