Patf Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 We've seen a bird similar to this in our garden and think it's some kind of warbler. Possibly a willow warbler. Cute [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadie Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Are you sure that it is not an immature Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misplacedperson Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Looking quite willow warbler to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex H Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 OK, thanks all - Google images seems to concur with Willow Warbler.My wonderful AA guide to birds of Europe is divided by species, so if you don't know what it is, you have to trawl the whole book!

JayJay Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I would say it was a garden warbler. Plenty around at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Framboise Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Another suggestion. We have a lot of Black Redstarts here - the youngsters look very much like immature robins until they get their proper uniform of pale grey with a black tail (the males that is). Could be this little chap is one of them possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fureys Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Hi, sorry I'm late!By the olive green legs and the diffuse eye stripe, this is a Chiffchaff. Normally Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler are almost imposible to tell apart other than by their song, but such a good clear photo as this makes identification pretty straightforward.Fureys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
