ID required please

Photograph taken at Messingham nature reserve. Maybe some type of Warbler. It was in fairly dense cover, didn't sing and only showed itself very briefly.



Thanks

that one has got me stumped Roger, it's a fairly non-descript bird! A nice clear photo though, especially if it only showed itself briefly. No doubt John will ID it, if not others as well.

Could be Garden Warbler Sylvia borin

I think its a Garden Warbler, great shot! - Gareth

Non-descript warbler = Garden Warbler.

I would agree with Imaginos and Gareth.

You may be right Gareth, because that's the nearest I could find to it in around six bird ID books I consulted.
Thanks

Thanks Richard, it's looking more like a Garden Warbler all the time. I googled it and it does look like many of them but there is a big variation in the images so it's hard to be certain.

Doh,i'm always late with these it's a Garden Warbler as others have said. Me and a friend found a nest of a pair after they had fledged the young earlier in the year, we had been watching them going in and out for a couple of weeks beforehand so knew it was there somewhere was a tiny straw nest about 3inch off the floor

Thanks Lincs Yellowbelly. I think we have enough votes to move it into the Warblers gallery.
