Willow Warbler - Phylloscopus trochilus

Willow Warbler | Ardnamurchan
Canon 800mm f8 for 1/800th @ iso200

The rusty red barbed wire and lichen covered posts now gone and replaced by new deer fences separated the grounds of Dalendrien House and the Congalen Estate.

The new fence posts "burn" white in the afternoon sun and gone is the rusty wire that always adds a certain something to bird photography is replaced by the square galvanised meta mesh of the new fences.

Willow Warblers are extremely common on Ardnamurchan moving between the low shrubbery and patches of rhododendron bushes.
