This is not a Chiffchaff . It doesn't have black legs but I', not sure which warbler it is
The obvious pick would be a Willow Warbler, but with Warblers you never know.
I thought it to be a Willow Warbler but like you say You can never tell. There are many different Warblers at the Bowling Green Marsh reserve
I need a positive ID to resolve it though.
Thanks
Well this - and another of yours I just looked at asking for ID - appear to be the same species Beryl. I don't wish to get into any disagreements with anyone on this most enjoyable website but......Willow Warblers don't winter in the UK, if they do so down south then I really have learned something special today.
Otherwise I have no idea what your bird is Beryl.
Pete.
I don't know any thing about warblers or where they winter Pete.
I'm as much in the dark.
Thanks anyhow
I've been looking around at a lot of Chiffchaff info and apparently the legs of the Chiffchaff, can on occasions be a lighter shade, perhaps this is one of those.
Yes. I was looking up the time that Willow warblers are in UK and it says April -September.
I looked up Chiffchaffs and they are supposed to be gone by August /September
September I photographed dozens today The bushes were full of them
I think they are all chiffchaffs But Idon't know now. The one above isn't very good any how
I have up loadd another in the ID today
The legs of the Chiffchaff are usually a good ID mark but I don't think its conclusive every time.
Pete.
I have to agree with that
Chiffchaffs apparently live down here all year round so It has to be a Chiffchaff
Yes they do winter Beryl but I don't like to keep 'chipping in' with these - what may seem like - clever facts.
Pete.
