:   2822
Province:   Western Cape
Country:   South Africa
Locus:   3322DC
Observer:   Kennedy David
Date of record:   2006-07-15
Number of photos:   2
Notes:   These might just be the two worst photos ever taken of a Knysna Warbler. I located a pair in thick scrub communicating with the quietest of contact calls - you had to really strain to hear it. As quietly as I could, I got as close as possible in the hope that one might show itself. This was the result. They're rubbish, yes, but I'm quite proud of them.
