Wood Warbler : Battle Hill Wood,Brecon

I spent a few hours on Sunday trying to capture a few images of Wood Warbler,the wood is a small area of deciduous mixed habitat on the fringe of a conifer plantation and only a 100m walk from the entrance gate and parking area.
There were at least three birds present and it was no easy task, but I was reasonably pleased with the some of the results.........
As I approached the entrance gate near the parking area on my retuern I came across three fledgling Robins being tended by the parents birds,how they manage to fly with such underdeveloped wings and lack of tail is a mystery......
