Wood Warbler - the sound of spring.

I always like to try and get a shot of a Wood Warbler in the spring. They are one of my favourite little warblers. They live up to their name by breeding in the light mixed woodlands of the Brecon Beacons. They like an airy canopy and a bit of space between the trees to fly around and display. I love their spinning coin song and their multiple sharp little 'Peeps' when they call. This morning I was in such a woodland early and I was watching a bird calling and singing and displaying frequently. I positioned myself behing some foliage and watched and waited for an opportunity to try and get a shot. I was again using my Canon R5 with my Canon RF 100-500 f7.1 lens and a Canon speedlight 430EX mounted on the hot shoe for a bit of fill in flash. I couldn't have walked in these type of woods with my EF600 f4 and tripod, it's just too big and awkward. This little Canon RF 100-500 is so versatile for this type of shooting.
A lovely morning with this glorious little bird.
