Spectacled Warbler at Cape Creco end of April (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
The image of a warbler (probably female/ 1st wintr) was shot at Cape Creco/ Cyprus end of April, on 28th of April. First 1 was thinking of a Common Whitethroat, but the short primary projection made me in favor of Spectacled Warbler. What do you think? Any hints on Identification of Spectacled Warbler (or other European warblers) are more than welcome. Thanks for ID to the experts
Cheers
Johannes

Certainly, looks like a shorter winged, smaller billed miniature Common Whitethroat! Call and song would have helped with identification at the time you saw it. Im aware they breed just up from the headland back towards the snack van at the crossroads.
