I was treated to a palm warbler this morning, a lifer for me! It's fun chasing these small birds around, right???

Absolutely lovely! I had my first chance to photograph a wood duck recently and had such a hard time exposing correctly due to their bright eyes. You solved that problem in the most elegant way! 🤩

I had the delightful experience of spending half an hour in the company of a couple of least bitterns this week. I'm obsessed with their small bodies, large feet and how they hang onto the reeds as they hunt for small fish. 🪶
