Sedge Warbler

 18.05.22 There were a few Sedge Warbler at Burdon Moor and two of them were showing very well.

One of them was singing from the top of some Hawthorn trees.

The other from a fence post.

I tried a few flight shots.

At one point the breeze was so strong it was nearly blown of the post but it kept on singing.

I definitely have the bug.

 I think It is great hunting for these small Shieldbugs and I seem do be doing it every time I go out with the camera.  Most, but not all, of these bugs were found at Burdon Moor and along the Tanfield Railway path. Once again I may not have the identification correct for all of them.

Hawthorn Shieldbug

Birch Shieldbug

I think these are Hairy/Sloe Shieldbugs

Gorse Shieldbug

Common Green Shieldbug

I think the image above and the two below are Instars of Common Green Shieldbugs
