Dartford Warbler #2

It's a beautiful still morning here with sunshine and no rain, although it did pour down in the early hours. I popped down the road to have a mooch around the top of the reservoir, wondering if I might catch some birds having romantic moments for Valentines Day. I heard lots of birdsong which made it feel very springlike.
I had a wonderful encounter with a Dartford Warbler just near the old bunker. I'd heard it's scratchy call first and then saw it on a bramble. As I got closer I was really hoping it wouldn't fly away. It flew into the bush underneath, and then flew up and stayed on a branch right in front of me. It was amazing and I managed a few good shots. I've put the best one in extras as the colours didn't convert well to mono.
