Mystery Acro - Knockadoon Head (1 Viewer)

Hi

Would appreciate a little help with ID of this acro I had today on Knockadoon Head, Cork.

I would say it is about in line (although the angle makes it a little difficult to assess).

It also looks like a Reed, so I think that's what it is

Hi Graham,

First thing is that the emargination is on P3 and not P2 as P2 is the outermost long feather with P1 being much shorter (about same length as Primary-coverts). Your bird has dark claws, brighter eye-ring then the supercilium, and emergination is in line with secondary tips so all in all these features all indicate Reed Warbler -as does the plumage colour generally.

Cheers

Roy
