A few from my local Reservoirs this morning. I only heard Willow Warblers in this bush, but that doesn't really mean a lot |=)|

Oh, I've uploaded the last pic because of the bold eye-stripe; not the best of pics I know.

I only ever guess these birds, but I'd say

Chiffchaff
Willow Warbler
Willow Warbler
Not sure

But I'd not be surprised if they were all Chiffchaffs |=)|

Thanks

I'd say Chiffy for first 3 and possibly Willow Warbler for last with primaries just looking fore-shortened due to the angle

I thought that the pale legs for number 3 would have suggested a Willow Warbler.

But the short primary projection indicates Chiffchaff. The legs on my monitor look quite dark.

Hi Chris,
The first three all appear to have dark legs for me too, so Chiffchaff i'm afraid. They are everywhere at the moment, much to my dismay.(no willows in sight where I am.)

Plenty of Willow Warblers here, Andy; just that I keep taking pics of Chiffchaffs |=)|
