Warbler please - London UK (1 Viewer)

ChrisKten

It's true, I quite like Pigeons
This was quite a distant bird, that, due to the hovering display, I thought was a Sedge Warbler. I'm now guessing that other Warblers display in that way too.

Anyway, it's obviously not a Sedge Warbler, Whitethroat was my first guess, but I can't quite match it up. The angle isn't helping, as you can't see the length of the tail.

Both pictures are heavy crops, but are the best that I managed.

Thanks.

quite right on Whitethroat Christken:t: and you are correct, quite a few warblers have display flights, Whitethroat and Sedgie most common but I have seen Blackcap and Lesser Whitethroat doing it too!
