EASTERN CROWNED WARBLER

Saturday was a very good day for me and for a lot of others,I would say about 90 others in fact, that's how many people were there when me and my mate Eamonn got there.the sighting of the eastern crowned warbler weren't as good as I was hoping,the weather put a damper on it(pardon the pun)for a short while,but as the weather improved the views were spot on,as a lot of people said that day it does not come any better than this.

This photo is not sharp by any means but who cares,To see the eastern crowned warbler was my main interest to get the photo was a bonus.
