Warblers and swans south Sweden April 1-2 (1 Viewer)

[Macswede]

There were 2 warblers on the 1st April, both silent. I thought the primary projection was too short for Willow Warbler at first but now I can't see that it's anything else.

The swans on 2nd April were quite far off and I assumed they were Whooper swans. I thought one or 2 looked good for Bewick's but they were all the same size. Now I think they're all Bewick's because of the relatively short necks and the smaller yellow patches on their bills. I've never seen a flock of Bewick's swans before, only in mixed flocks with Whooper swans.

The warbler on 2nd April (if there was only one) was also silent. Looking closely at the pictures I think that's a Willow Warbler too. Normally at Easter in Skåne we see (and hear) lots of Chiffchaffs but we didn't see or hear any this year unless one of these birds is a Chiffchaff which I doubt.

Grateful for any help here.

Post1- The Swans are Bewick's and the warbler look good for Chiffchaff, e.g. Short PP and dark legs.

Thanks Bobbitworm45! Chiffchaffs are certainly more likely at that time in the south of Sweden.
