I´m alway desperately at a loss when it comes to ID warblers. A chiffchaff? The pictures were taken last week near Madrid. Thank you in advance!

Its quite early for Common Chiffchaff in Madrid. Willow Warblers are passing in numbers now all through Iberia - and that is what I see in all the photos except "Carrimister 4", which looks like a Common Whitethroat to me.

4 looks like an Acrocephalus, Eurasian Reed or Marsh.

Agree 1 - 3 Willow. 4 is probably Acro. But almost certainly Reed W... These dudes can look like everything you always wanted to see!

how about Melodious...

I would think it is more likely to be a Reed W than a Melodious. The pic was taken near a river with lots of reeds around. Reed W can be spotted in the area.

Agrre with Reed for 4. I was too quick and tired eyed when I decided Whitethroat.
