Title: Willow Warbler?
Post by: Adam J on April 01, 2010, 11:26:01 PM

I was wondering if anyone could confirm that the bird in the photograph is a Willow Warbler? It was seen today in the Shrike bushes at South Gare. The bird had pale legs and a overall green tone which is why I identified it as a Willow Warbler rather than a Chiffchaff.
Cheers,
Adam

Pale cheeks, pale legs, long primary projection all confirm this as a Willow Warbler. Well recorded and well deduced.
