Portrait of a Grasshopper Warbler
There are still several male Grasshopper Warblers delivering their distinctive reeling song around Beeley Moor. The Grasshopper Warbler is often double brooded and these males are doubtless advertising their territory whilst the females incubate these second broods.
Generally easy to hear, particular in the evening, but difficult to see but I was lucky with this male when it landed briefly on a drystone wall which it ran along, almost mouse-like before disappearing in to the undergrowth. It then reappeared 15m further away after several minutes and sang briefly.
