First Reed Warbler of the year. Sheer luck I was in just the right position to catch him for a second or two, unobscured. (R5ii + 200-800mm).

One of mine too! Nice shots.

Thank you Alan. It's also fun to look for them in the woods.
btw I see that when you zoom the photo to 100%, the photo is less sharp than locally on my computer. Probably that happened during upload?

I have the same problem: 100% on my monitor look sharper than the 100% on CR...
Whatever - not a real problem

For amusement, a Grey Heron landed on a path so close I had to zoom out to 200mm. The amusement is what he looked like after he took off!

I am not 100% sure but I believe this is a yellow-browed warbler.

Difficult one for me to see. It also looks like a Chiffchaff. The Warbler is smaller and has white wing bars, but the branch may be obscuring a wing bar here. And I read that the warbler has pinkish legs. There are other small warblers that also confuse the issue, and Chiffchaffs do look a bit plumper than this. Do you have any more photos?
