A Black Browed Reed Warbler at Oshamanbe yesterday..............
This is a very common summer visitor and is abundant in suitable grassy habitats. It's one of my favourite local birds.................
All the common birds of the grasslands were present: 3 species of cuckoo, Long Tailed Rosefinch, various Buntings, Grays Grasshopper Warbler................
It was rather hot though, I concentrated on this individual singing its heart out at the side of the road.
I took a short video of it too...............
Briallnat images of this warbler and loved hearing it on the video
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Margaret...............
DeleteI always have difficulty identifying European and Asian warblers, at least in part because I see them so infrequently, but this one seems like it wouldn't be as difficult as some.
ReplyDeleteIt is also the only one of its group in Japan......................there are 4 or 5 similar ones in Europe though.
DeleteStunning photography Stuart, really eye popping shots. Lovely bird of course.
