Good spot - normally I hear them but they are obscured by leaves!

Thanks Germain, only the second one I have photographed. It flew across the path in front of me, almost too close...

Super spot Snappy.... how are your eardrums?

Thanks PB, I think it had landed so close it didn't risk making any noise...

That's a nice one Snappy, dunno how folk can tell these little warblers apart, it's beyond me

Thanks PB I use the Merlin App to get a sound ID while I am taking the photo, then double check with a photo ID. just to make sure I photographed the right bird

Some cracking additions lately SM...well done you even if you did need help from Merlin at times
