Fan-tailed Warbler (Cisticola juncidis) singing and fluttering near the mics, some insects too. An airplane overheads. I fixed the mics to their favourite place (a fence) and waited. Also called Zitting Cisticola (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zitting_Cisticola) this bird is dull and tiny (100 mm), but with a very expressive body language so they are fun to observe. Under the hot and dry southern-Spanish summer they look very happy! Recorded in
tall grassland marsh (Doñana, S Spain) using a pair of Shure WL183 mics (with DIY windscreens), FEL preamp, and Edirol R09 recorder.

its Spanish name (Buitrón) is strange also, as it suggests an augmentative for Buitre (Vulture)... and then you see the smallest bird :-)

They do occasionally turn up in Britain too, especially Portland in Dorset, my father saw one on the Wash Coastal Path in Norfolk a couple of years ago. Nice, strange little bird

I never thought they would make it as far north as Brittany - maybe one day global warming will bring them to Britain.
