Longmynd - Groppers!

The highlight of a trek around the Longmynd this morning was undoubtedly this individual (one of three Grasshopper warblers reeling) Having located him, just a matter of waiting for him to pop up and 'reel away'.

He did pop up quite close.....








The closest....






And then proceeded to reel it's heart out!








Often hidden from view but in this particualr instance, perched on top of the heather!








It doesn't get much better than this!
