Hi Seymour

Best wishes Chris

Grrr LBJs... Not a reed Warbler, I'm pretty ceertain about that. The beak is too short.
Is it a Nightingale??

PS whatever it is, it's the most gorgeous little bird, isn't it.
I'll point out some visible clues if no one is close soon :)
I know, I know!! Female Pied Flycatcher??
I'm struggling a bit with this one. I think it might be a female pied flycatcher.

Hey TJ - I got there first !!!
However, I'm going to go with your wisdom on the 'Bird in Water' and, based on your clue, suggest a Common Sandpiper??

You did indeed. That's assuming we're right.
What clue did I give re the other one? You've had a peek. Naughty , naughty. LOL
Hi,
so if you think it's a Pied Fly- what leads you to that conclusion?
:)
Well, big eyes, unstreaked breast, brown head and whiteish chin, long clawed feet. Perhaps a hint of the forehead spot above the beak - less obvious than in the male.
Rubbish, yes ?!
