Middendorff's Grasshopper Warbler
MIDDENDORFF'S GRASSHOPPER WARBLER
Locustella ochotensis
Candaba, Pampanga
L 140mm (5 1/2")
Uncommon, migrant
Bird # 404 - March 2013
An easy bird to hear with such an unusual song. But an expert in keeping hidden. It skulks and hides so well that is usually just allows a quick look.
A most uncooperative model, quite a task to photograph.
Note the faint breast band and the grey outer edge to the outer primary feather. Tail has white tips. But the white tips are hardly seen in this photo.
