Lesser Whitethroat/Whitethroat?-please (1 Viewer)

christineredgate

Winner of the Copeland Wildlife Photographer of th
Took this one very hurried shot this morning,and in checking in the id book,would anyone say that this bird is a Whitethroat as opposed to a Lesser W.The tail does seem perhaps a little longer ,also the legs of a Lesser are described as "dark grey",but the legs on this little chap do seem to be a brownish/red colour.
Thanks
Christine.
