I photographed this Paddyfield warbler in Bulgaria earlier this year. I’ve chosen to showcase this species, not because the images are particularly outstanding, but just because this was a new bird for me and I think its one that may be of interest to birders. Would you pick this out from reed warbler in a north Norfolk coastal marsh? What struck me initially about the Paddyfield warbler (Acrocephalus agricola) was the very white underparts and the obvious white supercillium set off by the dark stripes. The bird appeared smaller and shorter winged than a reed warbler and the pale lower mandible is clearly visible in this shot. (Nikon D7000, Nikkor 500mm f/4 ISO800 1/1000 @ f/6.3)
