Thanks for that AndrewLooks okay for Lesser Whitethroat. The eye colour isn't a problem.
I am hoping the dark legs are nmot deal breaker because my one has pink legs when you zoom right into it.Note dark ear-coverts and dark legs.
I'm still noting them - or it - the one that's visible here. No pink.Note . . . dark legs
It really is pinkI'm still noting them - or it - the one that's visible here. No pink.
That's the branch.It really is pink
The branch at the back is dark, the one at the front curves away. You can clearly see the it's the leg. You can even see the bend in the leg.That's the branch.
Just saw a Common Whitethroat with no white ring round it's eye, but pale legs. Common Whitethroat | Wildlife InsightThat's the branch.
It's black not pink, it is a lesser whitethroat as Butty said. You can see both legs in the picture, the leg further back is clearly black and the one at the forefront is also black, though it does look slightly coloured because of the lighting.It really is pink
Not the best shot but a Female Sard which is extremely common on the Island and yours is not one.I am hoping the dark legs are nmot deal breaker because my one has pink legs when you zoom right into it.
I have had a closer look at female Sardinian Warbler's and unlike Collins, most pictures show a more subdued red eye, similar to the male.

It's a Spectacled Warbler (but this has nothing to do with the eye-ring)Just saw a Common Whitethroat with no white ring round it's eye, but pale legs. Common Whitethroat | Wildlife Insight
So could it be a Common Whitethroat? Though I think the bill is the wrong colour.
The OP is a Lesser Whitethroat, the weblink is to a Common Whitethroat.It's a Spectacled Warbler (but this has nothing to do with the eye-ring)
The bird in post #10?It's a Spectacled Warbler (but this has nothing to do with the eye-ring)
