Battling Cetti's Warbler's

We were walking between South and West hides on Friday morning, when we heard a very loud Cetti's Warbler song, then as we rounded the corner we spotted two Cetti's Warbler having a territorial battle and they were totally unaware of us watching the battle.

 

Also watching was this little Wren, who was startled by the battle.

Then Dave spotted this cracking Puss Moth near Sluice
