Willow warbler or Chiffchaff

[PeterD]

Not 100% sure but I think this is a Willow warbler. Can anyone help please?



Thanks

Peter

I think you are right, Willow Warbler. The primary projection looks about right too

It is a Willow Warbler. Paler legs, longer primary projection.

Thank you both. I was hoping I was right as these birds can be very hard to tell apart.

Willow Warbler it is.

Cheers

They are, Peter, but practice makes perfect

I still struggle with telling these birds apart and have to listen to the song in order to know which bird it is
