There were several warbler species at the forest pool.................
Short-tailed Bush Warblers (also known as Asian Stubtails) are yet another skulking summer visitor and a species I don't photograph very often.............
Eastern-crowned Warblers were very common...............
You can see its distinctive head pattern in some of these poses;
This is (I think) an Arctic Warbler.....................
I didn't see or hear many Arctic Warblers in this part of the forest. There were lots of Japanese Bush Warblers singing but surprisingly none came to the pool. A Grays Grasshopper Warbler sang briefly nearby but that didn't appear either......................
You got some great shots of the warblers at the pool
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret...........
