Good catch! Usually you only hear them, or maybe spot them for a brief moment.

Yes, patience & luck required for Cetti’s! This one was a newly-arrived male, actively dashing around in an area of canal-side willows and reeds.



What you don’t expect, when sitting quietly by an English canal, waiting for a skulking Cetti’s to make another fleeting appearance, is for an escapee Black Swan to cruise past!
