A lovely find Alan. Not seen or heard a Grasshopper Warbler this year (and not last year either).
I did hear my first Reed W last week and spotted my first Whitethroat of the year yesterday.

There were a few Redshank too ...

Cracking photos Nige, especially the last one with the BTG feeding.

Fantastic views and photos of the GW and great to also see the Whitethroats too, haven't seen any yet although my spare time and trips out to the reserves have been a lot fewer this last three weeks. Must put that right soon !

Nice to see a decent view of the Grasshopper Warbler, Alan. Heard and seen (fleetingly) my first ever one today. :-)

Very nice captures Nige.

I spent 5 hours Saturday trying to photograph a Nightingale at RSPB Highnam Woods, I had some luck but not satisfied with the photo's. Always another day. This morning I went to RSPB Greylake, loads of Cetti Warblers on the reserve but difficult to see. I kept my distance and waited, eventually they showed and managed to photograph 3 different CW's.
