Hello,

I took a photo of some species of warbler in Tunisia, the picture was taken at the beginning of July in Northern Tunisia (Cap Serrat). In my opinion it looks like Western olivaceous warbler, but I´m not completely sure.

Thanks,
Vaclav John

Thank you,

is there a chance how to distinguish between Western and Eastern olivaceous warbler (beside song)? There probably breed only Western olivaceous ones in Tunisia, but to my surprise there should also breed Eastern olivaceous in some parts of North Africa, for example in Algeria, which is nearby. Another question is if the beginning of July is too early for migration or not...
