Scilly day 3 - Barred Warbler

What an amazing start to the day! I was travelling light but after ticking Barred Warbler (271)  in a hedgerow near the Hospital in Hughtown, the battery died :-( Rather than replace it, I nipped back to the Band 500mm lens - good decision as on return, it was showing amazingly well in a nearby garden!

Often totally obscured, things improved so that only odd branches were in the way!






And then in clear view!




Certainly showing far better than any Barred Warbler I've ever seen!!





And even getting up to some Waxwing like acrobatics as it feasted on the berries!
