Can anyone help me ID a bird I saw tonight please? I doubt it is anything special but I cant find it in any of my books. I am a novice at this so please excuse me if I am missing the glaringly obvious.
I saw it in a tree at Fairlop Waters Country Park in Hainault Essex. Some kind of spruce tree, I am no botanist (not a very good ornathologist either it seems!)
Sparrow sized
Yellow belly with a plain back of a browny sort of colour. No pattern to it.
There was a dark stripe through its eye.
I looked in my book and found a Wood Warbler but that sounded a bit uncommon from what I read and I dont remember seeing a white underbelly, just yellow. It wasnt a Greenfinch because I know what they look like.
Any ideas?
