Title: Which Warbler at Coatham Marsh
Post by: Derickp on April 25, 2013, 04:35:50 PM
This was on Coatham marsh and was spotted first by Dave Lawton. Caused a bit of an ID problem, Could it be Cetti's  or even Savi's Warbler. Bird was about 200 yards away and taken on full zoom, with high ISO setting to achieve speed, hence the poor quality. ID from the more knowledgable appreciated.

Hi Derick,

Looks like a Wren to me.

Cheers Damian

Agree with Damian, first thoughts were Wren.

Hi Damian & Chris,

Many thanks for your replies. The lack of markings and the none wren posture due to the wind probably confused us.  Dave will be broken hearted, he thought he had got something rarer than a wren. Better to be corrected than to be blindly wrong. Thanks to you both.

Kind regards

Derick
