Australian Reed Warblers are resident at the local swan pond right now. Favouring the heard but not seen approach, they spend the days warbling loudly, flitting in and out of the reeds and over the water at high speed and desperately avoiding portrait posing situations.
This blog is to share my photographs of, and enthusiasm for, the native birds living around and passing by the base of Mount Majura, Canberra, Australia. It was inspired by the swanlings at the bottom of my street. All photographs have been taken on local walks.

Australian Reed Warbler
What sits in the reeds, in erm.. Australia and warbles a lot? You got it? I had no idea so thanks SG for identifying this tiny bird for me.

I saw a reed warbler on the weekend too! They have such a lovely song.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are loud and proud for tiny things! I see them a lot but am not a very fast photographer so it's hard for me to get a very good shot.
