Shot in a marshy habitat.
They are fairy secretive.
Thanks for looking.

Excellent capture, Karl.
Nice and sharp with nice BG. Singing pose is a bonus.
I've been trying to get one of these guys for the last week or so, but no luck.
They are difficult to get in the open (I have lots of shots of tall grasses and rushes).

I agree with Leigh. This is a nice capture, out in the open with good light and breeding plumage.

Yeah...not only secretive but they never seem to stop moving. You sure captured this one well.

A tough little bird to get in the open! Well done getting him to pose for you in nice light with a clean BG.

Karl, all the critique is exactly what I would say but I would like to see this guy have a bit more room around

What a beautiful little bird and a lovely image Karl! I'm with Missy on wanting just a touch more room all round.

Sweet pose, Karl. So elusive- always hopping around. Great job getting him out in the open and singing!
