Hi Charles,

 

wonderful image! A warbler unknown to me, but then again, there are probably thousands of warbler species. I like the composition and colors, focus is very good too. Well done! Kind regards, Vincent

Thanks Vincent! I’ve been lucky this spring, spotting several warblers that are new to me. They aren’t the easiest birds to photograph, as you know, and this one was no exception. This species is unique among warblers in that it possesses relatively strong legs & an extra long rear claw allowing to forage up & down tree trunks like a nuthatch.

Charles, as for Vincent I also do not know this Warbler, so well photographed, but I am grateful to you for letting me know, even with your interesting notes. ciao Giangiorgio

Hi Giangiorgio, thank you so much for your kind words, very much appreciated, ciao.
