Warbler - Hummersea, Cleveland (1 Viewer)

[Chris.S]

Seen tonight at Hummersea around 7:30pm, initially thought Willow or Chiffchaff, but then noticed how Brown it was and the pale neck.

Have more very similar photos(burst) if they might help.

Any ideas?

Cheers
Chris.

Looks very like an acredula Willow Warbler.

I agree, it'd be good to get some more opinions on this. Mark Lewis wrote some informative notes here which may be of interest.

Thanks for the replies, this was also a mentioned on Teesmouth Bird Club forum, but also mentioned was the outer white tail feathers, which show on all photos.

I was thinking that all the bird would have a similar white effect if it was a photo effect.

Cheers
Chris.

scandi acredulas usually look greyer brown, but the images seem to have a red cast which are misleading. whitish outer tail edges can be produced by light shining through...
