Willow Warbler or Chiffchaff at Pingewood gravel pits.

Heard this little chap singing away by the roadside, they don't keep still for long, but I got a few snaps, not sure whether it is a Willow warbler or Chifchaff. :)

Been doing a bit of research and found that the easiest way to tell them apart is by their call, the Willow Warbler only using a single note.:)

Thanks Robert, yes I've been researching as well, this bird definitely had a two note call, with one being longer, so it appears that it is a Chiffchaff. :)

It appears to have changed its call this weekend, I'm sure it was two notes but with one longer last week. :)

This is what it sounds like this week and is definitely a Chiffchaff. :)

Chiffchaffs have black legs if that is any help, I have never seen a willow warbler though. I had a Chiffchaff in my garden last year but never heard it sing

They are very difficult to tell apart, even when looking at photos alongside each other.:)

I've now heard what I think is a Willow warbler in the copse opposite, but have not been able to get a decent photo yet. :)
