Loads of Warblers at my local reservoirs this morning; I needed sunglasses to look at this one, as it's such a bright yellow I'm guessing a juvenile Willow Warbler; the colour pointing to juvenile?

I've more pics if needed, but it'll take a while to process them

Thanks

(Probably more Warblers to confirm later )

More pics would be useful. I have a Wood feeling based only on this pic...

Thanks for replying, Cristian.

Here's a quick upload before I process some more pics; I'm reasonably sure this is the same bird

A very sweet juv Willow Warbler indeed! I'm braced for them to inundate Portugal very soon - they have just started to arrive.

I'm no expert, but AFAIK; leg/feet colour is unreliable with Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler; they can both have dark legs, or not.
