Not so important
That's an impressive decline. But, I am just curious how they're distinguished, appart from geography.
When I was in the Netherlands this spring, I saw some Warblers, that I could identify as Icterine. When I was in the Allier a month later, I saw a Warbler that I considered identical. Only when consulting Collins I realized it was Melodious.
