I am sorting through the hundreds of pictures taken over the summer, I think this is a Sedge Warbler, but not sure, can anyone help? Sorry picture quality not great as it was very much a quick snapshot.
Thanks Gary.

Meanwhile back to the Sedge Warblers on Post one
I have politely posted my issue on Technical difficulties there it should be resolved and not on this thread.
hi MarJus
Great to be back on the RSPB, and a hello to you. {smile}
Yes, the picture is of a Sedge Warbler, so i am in agreement with you too.
Like Gary has already been lucky here, I would love to get a hold of a picture of one - one day.
It is to do with being in the right place at the right time,
They are not the easiest birds to see at the best of time let alone photograph.

Many thanks to everyone that has replied, and I think I can now tick off Sedge warbler on my list with some certainty. The photo was taken at RSPB Leighton Moss earlier in the summer, I hadnt set out to photograph it, it was one of those occasions, right place right time!! but nevertheless was quite pleased to get it, just wish the quality was a bit better, but beggars can't be choosers, thanks again everyone.
Hi Gary
Well done to you, and something to be proud about {thumbs up}
RSPB Leighton Moss is one of the better Reserves and those are the best places to see these birds. I have not beern there but heard lots about it from various people.
Your picture is fabulous anyday!
Hi again Gary,
Hope you don't mind but I'm going to make the most of your thread to get an ID on a warbler I photographed at the Annandale water services! I took it to be a sedge as I think they are the most 'likely' to be seen but it would be good to know for sure! :-)
Thanks!

Afraid I can't help as warblers are so tricky to identify but I just wanted to say what a lovely picture it is. You even caught it singing. Fantastic!
There is something new to learn everyday...

I agree with that, brilliant photo.
The necessity of bird-watching is a really good reason for avoiding all forms of housework.
The dust will still be there tomorrow - the birds may not be!
Hi MarJus
I would say a Chiff Chaff based on the striking cream eye stripe. The background Woodland is it forte and that is where it belongs. It is as happy as a Warbler can be.
Anyway it is one in a million pictures and I would be proud to own it anyday
Thanks SB! Thanks Squirrel!
Thanks Blackbird - can say with certitude that it wasn't a chiff chaff as it didn't 'chiff chaff'!! Lol! It was warbler type of song, quite beautiful but hard to describe! Need to listen to the RSPB sounds I think!! The tree is was in was at the edge of the 'lake' at the services!
