Farlington - 19th May

I spent a few hours at Farlington marshes on 19^th May hoping to get some reasonable pictures of Sedge Warblers. They often sit out in the open when they’re singing so this is the best time to try and photograph them. They are having an excellent year at Farlington with many singing males in the point field and many more throughout the rest of the HWT reserve.

I didn’t do quite as well as I was hoping to sometimes they are not that easy to get close to, the obscured tail is a bit annoying but over all i'm quite pleased with this.

There were also a few other opportunities to photograph some of the other breeding bird on the reserve.
