On the 2nd May, 2 Grasshopper Warblers arrived on my local patch and were "Reeling" and showing reasonably well on and off. Over the next couple of days or so I have been watching, from a safe distance, one bird in particular, to find out it's favourite singing posts.This morning, with a little patience, I was able to get some half decent images of a fairly secretive bird. Grasshopper Warblers often show at their best during the spring, when they arrive at suitable habitat and begin to emit their distinctive insect like "Reeling" song.
