Willow Warbler

[gramps]

My bird book description seems to indicate that this is a Willow Warbler but I have no confidence in identifying these little birds.

Looks like the willow warbler that's in my book. That's a very pretty little bird.

A cute scene rich in interest and colour, well recorded, and with just the right depth of field .

I'm sometimes reluctant to dip my toes into the world of ID but yeah, I'd say a willow warbler too. I checked my book too and it's the closest I can find. I'm wondering if this is a youngster or an adult that has been hard at work bringing up the young ones?

A lovely capture, I think it would stand more of a crop as it's sharp enough and would lessen some of the clutter (hate that word, not meant in a bad way) but would simplify the image a little more.

Thanks Dale ... I think a juvenile would be showing more yellow so assume this is a post-breeding adult.

Nice one,Roger. Makes me feel a lot better when you aren't sure of the ID .

A very pleasing shot.

Ha ha, thanks John, the overall consensus in the hide was LBJ (Little Brown job) or Willow Chaff ... helpful lot!
