Probably yes, bird songs are hard for me yet, I'm just a newbie really Pity it's not a goshawk - would be my first
I've probably seen them earlier, but I did not take any photos or wasn't sure of an ID.BTW, Bar-tailed is my first, too |:$|

paul, i give up on warblers, this is really embarrassing! but if the one on the left in 6971 is a wood sand, which is possible on structure (more than ruff, i agree) then the right one ain't a dunlin.

Structure and black belly look good for dunlin on the right hand bird. Its slightly further away, so a high magnification may make it look bigger than it actually is (sounds bizarre i know, but is a common visual effect first highlighted as far as i know by the late, great Peter Grant). Don't see what else it could be really? Could be wrong though...
Don't sweat about the warblers Lou! I've given up on gulls... :h?:

The birds flew in front of me in a pair, then sat down I took the photo, so I don't think these are two different spiecies. But I may be wrong - maybe one of those birds is not visible (behind the other one) and the second bird on photo was simply standing there...
Pity on the Garden Warbler...

Hi all.
On the icterine / willow warbler debate, our local field guides say that orange insode the mouth seperates Icterine from Willow Warbler. That would make that bird an Icterine.
Cheers.

That's going back a bit Doug! I presume you mean this pic from the first page? But what about the notched tail, dark lores, and pale legs? Icterine has a square ended tail, pale lores, and grey legs.doug_newman said:
Edit: note also the undertail coverts extend quite far along the tail, beyond the primary tips. In Icterine the coverts are much shorter, the primaries extending beyond them.

I suppose then that that would mean either that the field guides we have here are incorrect or this is not a willow warbler but perhaps another species that does not reach southern africa?
