Been to Fairburn ings today and spotted this bird any ideas what it may be any help would be appreciated
Thanks for the welcome
I thought it was a Willow Warbler but being new to birdwatching wasn't too sure
Afraid not it flew away as soon as i took the photo !!
Yeah had that happen nearly all day !!
And so so frustrating
Nice one thanks for your help, i am enjoying birdwatching but find it quite difficult identifying the birds i suppose it will get easier !!
Steve the Warden who is sitting at his desk behind me says Willow Warbler. Based on the colouring. Willow warblers tend to be more green/yellow with Chifchaffs more browny/grey. Hard to be 100% from photo but Steve is pretty good at these ones!
The call would be the key identifier.
