Icterine Warbler (immature)

One doesn't see much birds in the vast and desolate peat moors of ‘Hohes Venn’, the greatest and oldest National Park of Belgium and the most unique nature biotop in the land.

I only spotted this small Icterine Warbler far away in the swamp. A 850mm lens was absolutely necessary to shoot the bird (500 mm + 1,7X extender).
It’s a migratory songbird, wintering in tropical Africa.

Dutch name : Spotvogel (immatuur)
German name : Gelbspötter (immatur)
Latin name : Hippolais icterina
