July 27th (New Hythe)

I  think the Gods must have been looking down on me this morning.When I woke up,I thought wouldn`t it be nice to catch a Grasshopper Warbler and what did the first net round reveal the above bird.

It proved to be a juvenile just starting its post juvenile moult and about two hundred yards from where we had the singing bird in the spring.
