Barred Warbler

Very windy today so few birds in Darren's nets at Sde Boker (Garden, Eastern Oliveaceous, Reed warblers, Blackcaps, Lesser Whitethroats, Ortolan). As we were taking them down he spotted a large warbler at one end. Barred Warbler - my first of the year and my first in Israel. 

What an eye!
