We were probably just looking at different references on the internet
I haven't travelled much, never really had the inclination, but every now and then the desire rears it's head,especially seeing images here members have put in the galleries from all over the world, but it's soon over

Thanks black, it did have a call, thats what drew it to my attention. The willow warbler and the chiffchaff look so close to the untrained eye, I doubt I will ever really know
One of these days I will have a better camera then lighting and zooming won't be a problem - well I can dream can't I.
