  Thanks I will correct it, I thought I could hear the sound of a Chiffchaff...

  Do you have any idea what this bird is:

  In reply to SnappyMac:

  I am sure you did. They can crop up in the same places and I'm pretty certain you've posted chiffchaff photos from there. Because they are very similar looking, photos can be inconclusive. The more photos per individual, the better chance the i.d. is being right. The latest pair of photos looks more willow to me. Edit…..not 100% on those and can see a case for either.

  In reply to ItisaRobbo:

  I am fairly sure it is 3 different birds, only the last 2 pictures are the same bird.
  
  The bird in the 2 photo's above was in a different part of the reserve and was the only one low down.
  
  Thanks for your help IR.

  Thanks. The willow warbler is the bird in last two photos of that variety of species, above the blue tit. Photo 2 and poss 1 look more chiffchaff. Photo 1 is inconclusive in particular though…..at least it is for me.

  Another great collection SM I like the two Jackdaws together, and the photos of the Buzzard and Red Kite are Fab.
  When it comes to ID the small birds I find it difficult to ID them as well, maybe one day with a bit, no a lot more experience. Lol
