Shetland Marsh Warbler

 It has been an odd spring, with very few common migrants but some very good rare birds. This time a Marsh Warbler turned up at the next village only 5 mins away. 



I turned up just as a few birders were leaving, all saying they had limited views as the bird kept to the bushes.



I asked whether it had been down beside the burn in lush green vegetation. After a few mins it started to sing and flew into the area i was hoping, even the sun was on this area. 




I started to sing straight away and came to the edge of the vegetation which allowed for a few photo opportunities.


It moved along the burn before flitting across to some bushes in a garden before starting to sing again.



This bird has given me the best views so far as most other Marsh Warblers have been in dense vegetation
