You’ve already started a thread on this bird Colin!
As Kuzey replied on your initial thread, the photo doesn’t make an id. possible unfortunately between Chiffchaff or Willow Warbler (Greenish would show a wing bar so that’s not a possibility, and I’d guess would be exceptional in Cyprus in spring).

Thank you Richard, speaking of rarities in Cyprus a group of us did manage to spot a Yellow-browed Warbler, it was in the same large bush for a few days.

The one at Paphos has now been confirmed as a Hume's Warbler (identified from the call).

Thank you so much Andrew, it was a pity I could not get a picture, too quick for my lowly Nickon P900

Will these two extra photo's help in any way?
