Brabant Netherlands - Willow Warbler, not sure...? (1 Viewer)

[Bertus]

This morning, cold and wet weather. Bird noisy, not shy, kept on singing, but difficult to ID for me. Willow Warbler was my first guess, but I miss a white stripe above the eye. Some Warbler...? Tnx for helping....

Hi Bertus
I think it is a willow warbler. Because of long pp and half eye ring...

Long primaries = willow warbler. Your field guide will have a diagram to show exactly how to estimate the primary-length.
The supercilium is visible - but a bit obscured by ruffled crown feathers.
You need to learn the differences between the songs - they are totally different, and thus allow the two species to be separated instantly.
