From the reed beds yesterday ......

This Reed Warbler was being very coy, generally speaking they never really get more '' showy '' on a regular basis until the pressure is on and they are feeding young in the nest.

I love the colour and texture of reed beds, this rather frayed around the edges, Peacock Butterfly just looked good on a Phragmite today. What a contrast, the deep rich colours of the Butterfly and the somewhat neutral colours of the reeds.
