Photo of the Month
August 2004
Sedge Warblers by Bob
Ball
This photo of a Sedge Warbler feeding it’s chick was sent in by Bob Ball who took the photo using a Nikon
D70 and an 80mm-400mm vr lens at 400mm.
Here's how Bob got the shot in his own words...
"I had been taking shots of an adult Warbler when what I thought was
another one flew out from cover and landed a short distance away. Walking over
to investigate I saw it was a juvenile, shouting for food, so I began shooting
that when the food arrived.
It was taken on a track with thick foliage on each side that runs round the
perimeter of a local reservoir in Nottinghamshire, much used by walkers, joggers
and cyclists. No hide was used. I just kept walking up and down a small area
waiting for one to settle. Young birds, fresh out of nest, stay in a relatively
small area. I returned the next day and did not see or hear one! Just really
lucky to catch the moment."
