| | | Warbler and Wader ID's Please
 This warbler was sitting silently so no audible clues.  
The wader was a long distance away but looked interesting enough to keep. There were some Lapwings about and a Little Ringed Plover at the time.  Cheers

Your warbler is in fact a hen chaffinch! A finch of course. To help, the beak is totally different on a finch and much too big for any British Warbler. Also the wing bars are not found on any UK warbler. That is a Lapwing.

I'll take a quick guess at Turnstone for the wader. |
