Exciting! So glad to see people reiterating this important message. Namely, that wetlands of all kinds are the f*cking best

Maybe I’m biased but the water-associated warblers are all such heartthrobs

Ahh shoot! Let’s get coffee or something!

Or I guess tea since the ☕️ keeps running out 😂

A great reed warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus), a gorgeous marsh specialist in Europe. I can assure you they weren't happy!

This was back when I lived in Spain (and hadn't lost a lot of hair to cancer treatments!) and was volunteering with the Spanish Ornithological Society's banding research.
