Pallas's Warbler, Moor Green Lakes, Berkshire
26 January 2013
The complete opposite of the shrike below! A very difficult
subject to get good pics of, even with the sun out for the
first time in what seems a long time. It was constantly moving
around and was spending most of its time on the opposite side
of the river, which was relatively distant and into the sun.

have encountered.
