I cold only stand there and watch these the day before and had decided I was going to be in too much pain to go back and film them. My camera equipment was also buried .. deep.
But I dragged out my .. Nikon P900 after I realised I was being .. forced outside once again and I managed to get lucky ..
And film and photograph that Sedge Warbler ..
EDIT:
I forgot to add that just prior to seeing this Sedge Warbler I heard what I thought sounded like a loud .. grasshopper. I then thought "Wait a minute? That is not a Grasshopper Warbler is it?" and then a warbler appears. There had been a rumour of one being seen or heard and I thought this is what this bird was.
I have not been an avid bird watcher since I was a child, concentrating more on other animals like exotic finches, reptiles, amphibians and fish over the years. As soon as I saw the pictures in a book I remembered what a Grasshopper Warbler looked like and could not believe that I did not remember its pattern and colour ..
But then I do have this memory issue which I have had a number of years that has progressively gotten worse over a long period of time.
