  • I only sent it cause if I just pointed something out without actually presenting anything then it might be unlikely any one would of believed what I said. I already knew some things do say Willow warbler is more common. I knew the RSPB have said the Willow warbler is more common.  I was more on the willow warbler side (originally but I wasn’t going by the RSPB page.   I went off to think but it had already been verified. if I didn’t show the RSPB said the Willow warbler was more common. then most people couod think I’m probably mistakend and that they didn’t say it was at all. . Also I know that nothing beats exspeariance and that is why I don’t allways rely on books and things online. I just provided infomation to back up that the RSPB did say that. That doesn’t mean I’m saying it’s not  a chiffchaff and I wasn’t saying anyone is wrong. I just thought it might be something worth pointing out that’s all.

  • Hi

    it has the face pattern of a Chiffchaff- ie- no pale centre to ear coverts
    The primary projection visible in the 1st photo even allowing for fore shortening is too short for WW.

  • Because I Originally thought it might be willow warbler yesterday  I went off to think and then I started to think it was likely a Chiffchaff but I didn’t say what I think it is cause Chiffchaff has already been verified this morning. I agreed with everyone but thought I would just point something out and then leave it. But The reason I pointed it out got misunderstood. And In my defence I did say I don’t mean to be a pain. yesterday I had a confusing day so wasn’t thinking properly enough to contribute very well. So I will just say what I think it is aswell and leave the post at that. I think it’s likely a Chiffchaff.   ) just  like Linda said - amen to the post. 
    its amen to the post from here on out
