Hello everyone. I saw these birds this morning in Guadalajara (Spain). I guess one of them is Sylvia borin, but I have no idea about the second one.

Am unsure as to the first image being Sylvia borin, however I feel that the second image might relate to a Reed Warbler?

Cheers

Definitely Garden Warbler for the first one

Some people have told me the second image could be another S. borin with bad light conditions or a Phylloscopus trochilus. What do you think?

First image has a Phylloscopus feel to it to me. As Ken says, second could be an Acro.

Looking at image 2. again, I can see how it might also be ascribed to S.borin, not one I’d like to put money on though on this image.

First image shows a Garden Warbler (note strong grey legs, for instance), second a Willow Warbler (tail shape excludes Acrocephalus, and bill is too thin for Garden Warbler).

hmmm, with that facial pattern i'd never ID the second one as a willow warbler...from what i see, Sylvia borin for the second as well. not sure what to make with that bill though.

Head pattern can be very difficult to judge in rear view.
Cf. this Willow Warbler:
