A community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general!
Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.
I think this is a (probably young) Cetti's Warbler, which is a first time photo for me. They are certainly found in that area (Reading, UK), and Merlin Bird Photo ID points to it for the following photo taken at the same time and place:
Canon R6 + RF800mm
He's doing the Jean-Claude Van Damme pose.
Jean-Claude Van Warbler?
(I'll see myself out)
Super athletic tbh
Great capture! It does look like the same bird, must have a nest nearby. Did it just stare at you or did you get scolded too?
No scolding that I noticed :)
