Here some warbler that I saw while travelling around Scotland last june. I think they are a mixture of Chiffchaffs and Willow Warblers, but can anyone do a more positive ID?

Thanks

Hi there,

N°5 is Sedge Warbler, others look like Willow Warblers, but I didn't check all carefully.

Cheers

They all look like Willow Warblers...then a fifth image a Sedge Warbler was added after my first post.

Cheers

The last one would be the one looking like a Sedge. The first four Willow.

Apologies, I realised I had posted the wrong photo and you guys were very quick on the draw!

So the verdict is all willow warbler bar a sedge warbler.

Well, to be honest it is probably hard to say for certain wether 3 & 4 (same bird?) is a WW or a Chiffchaff.

Agreed, but I find that jizz with long supercilium and long, pointed light-coloured bill (relatively speaking) strongly indicates this.
