It's an Olive Tree Warbler? Botswana (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
It was in dry acacia thorn bushes, yesterday. The bill looks very long.
I really am a novice so I am hoping a warbler expert can help me to positively ID this bird?

With that bill and primary projection Dean...I’d be surprised if it wasn’t.

Cheers

my book also says uncommon....overall grey, robust legs, orange mandible and 'white eyebrow does not extend behind eye"

distinctly angled crown. It must be!

I hope so.... coz normally the forum says photo not good enough for warblers but this time I got a good photo
 
All other warblers I have encountered are in reeds near water..... this bird was in the middle of the desert...so it must be different. Book also says distinct eye ring.
