Warbler help please (1 Viewer)

I managed to snatch this shot as the bird popped out of the reeds. I was expecting it to be a Reed warbler when I put on screen. I've scanned my book but I can't make my mind up.

Thanks Robert

Looks like a Chiff-chaff to me. They can occur just about anywhere on migration.

Looks like a Sedge Warbler to me, although the eye stripe looks pale, juvenile?

Well they are the two on my short list. It's the colouring that is throwing me.

Second thoughts, I think I would agree with with Chiffchaff.

Chiffchaff...

I also thought Chiffchaff as soon as I saw it.

 

[Keith Reeder]

It's a chiffchaff for me too.

Chiff Chaff not willow Warbler. Jane Turner method:
shorter primary projection
shorter eye stripe
large pale eye ring
