Taken today in Saltburn gardens/wood.

   Some type of Warbler, but not too sure what type.
Any help much appreciated.

From the thin bill, pale legs, green wings and white wing bars I'd say Goldcrest.

Eddie H

Ian,

  It was certainly a Warbler, green in colour. No yellow flash on head.
Had a two tone song finished with a three note drill at the end, very fast song. Still pretty useless at Warbler LBJ ID's at the moment. Size of a Balckcap.

  It was very dark in the foliage hence the dark image. Or my useless photographs  :-\

With the points Ian mentions and the fact it does not have an eyestripe I would have also gone for Goldcrest. Perhaps a poorly marked one not showing much of a yellow stripe.

OK,

2-1 to the Gold Crest.

  Thanks Eddie
