Three warblers all taken today near Lagos in the Algarve. Could all be Willow Warblers but seem to be a few subtle differences. Would appreciate confirmation/correction

1 & 3 look like Chiffs to me, dark legs/shortish PP, and 2 a Sedge Warbler!

I would say these are all Chiffchaffs.

Common Chiffchaffs don't usually turn up down here in the Summer - usually gone by April. Could they be Iberian Chiffchaffs?

I agree with Tom on Iberian Chiff.

Agree , at this time of the year Iberian Chiffchaffs .
Still the best split will be to hear the call or a singing bird , Iberian males are normally quite vocal and territorial between April and early June.
