Had a good day yesterday. Two firsts for me. Both seeing and photographing. Was short on time but went to Ashdown Forest which is a mix of woods and heathland. Willow Warbler
Stonechat from a distance
Nicely done Mr Kes, love a Stonechat, so smart when fresh, and I'll take your word on Willow Warbler... I can never tell them apart from Chiffchaffs, and that gorse is such a glorious colour, brightens any day up. Thanks for sharing
Thanks PB. Yes hope to see more of the Stonechat, though it might have been a lucky one off. On the Willow Warbler the only difference I can see is the legs are a light colour than on the Chiffchaff which have almost black looking legs. Otherwise their song is different, but yes they are extremely similar. Willow Warbler might be a little longer though
Lovely photos MR Kes
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
I believe that the wings are longer on WW than CC!
