Hello everyone,

Is it a Chiffchaff? A willow warbler? Photographed a few days ago.

That black under the beak looks a bit confusing. Maybe rest of food?

Thank you for help.

Common Chiffchaff. The "black under the bill" is apparently due to missing feathering, exposing the dark bases to the feathers; there are feathers missing also at the front.

Yes Common Chiffchaff (with a decent sized lunch!)

Indeed Deb! He had a feast in front of my eyes
Thank you both for the quick reply.
