Great Reed Warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus )
The thrush-sized warbler is one of the largest species of the former family, the Old World warblers and it stands as one of the largest species in the family Acrocephalidae. It measures 16–21 cm (6.3–8.3 in) in length, 25 to 30 cm (9.8 to 11.8 in) in wingspan and weighs 22 to 38 g (0.78 to 1.34 oz). The adult has unstreaked brown upperparts and dull buffish-white chin and underparts. The forehead is flattened, and the bill is strong and pointed. It looks very much like a giant Eurasian reed warbler (A. scirpaceus ), but with a stronger supercilium.
The sexes are identical, as with most old world warblers, but young birds are richer buff below.
The warbler's song is very loud and far-carrying and beautiful to listen to. The song's main phrase is a chattering and creaking carr-carr-cree-cree-cree-jet-jet, to which the whistles and vocal mimicry typical of marsh warblers are added.

Sunrise Sleepy Dalmation Pelican, Greece
A truly magical morning. Up early for the sunrise on a boat. The sun rose and graced me with its welcome presence as it lit up the lake with its gold hue while the spider web on the top of the tree cast a tapestry of woven gold. The joys of photography.

Made famous following the filming of Banshees of Inisherin here, Keem Beach is a lovely spot at the end of the road on Achill Island. This was taken a couple of weeks ago on a very damp, misty and overcast morning.
