Last week I was in Egypt, near at El Quesir.
In the desert, 3 Kms from the Red Sea coast, I find an Acacia... and one bird. I hope for any wheatear but it is "only" a Common Whitethroat (Sylvia communis), in my opinion. But something doesn't run for me, so I take a lot of photo. I have a doubt it could be a Spectaled Warbler (S. conspicillata).
I ask two friends of mine. One says communis, the other one conspicillata.
Two other birders: one says "conspicillata, but bill is large"; second says "communis, but plumage is for conspicillata"...
so... I post!
tnx in advance
