Can anyone help me identify these birds?
I think I have:
Warblers (but which type?)
A young Robin
And a bunting?
Spotted this AUgust on Ile de Ré, just off the Atlantic coast of France.

not straightforward but I'll give it a go.
1 Icterine or Melodious warbler - you need to see the primary projection to be sure. Bluish legs suggest the former but there is overlap. Location perhaps favours the latter
2 reed warbler
3 juv serin
4 marsh warbler??? colour looks wrong but seems to be taken in strong sunlight
5 robin
 
Looking for an id on these birds:

Cheers,
regarding the one taken in strong sunlight, I've got either a "eurasian reed warbler" or "Blyth's reed warbler" i'd tend to go for the second but not sure.
Taken at a bird reserve "le Teich" near Arcachon.
 
melodious is most likely for number 1, Icterine is rare and only in eastern France, 2 and 4 are reed warblers, 3 is a young serin and 5 is a robin.
 
Thanks a lot guys,
All the Warblers / pouillots or rousserolle or Hypolais look the same in the book..!
Appreciate the help!
David
