| | | Two for identification Please. Sorry about the low quality of these
Not as i would usually show
Photo's 1 & 2 i thought was a Reed Warbler, but have been told that the colour of the legs and feet are wrong, and may possibly be a Marsh Warbler
Photo's 3 & 4 I have never seen this one before, Worked up and down the branches and under the leaves on the tree
I thought it may be a Garden Warbler ?
Any offers |

| | | Re: Two for identification Please. For the first one, I'm a bit confused as to it's seemingly yellow feet, but I still think it may be good for a reed warbler. But I don't have any experience with Marsh warblers, it could be this as well looking at the images of a few.
2nd one looks like a chiffchaff to me. Eye ring, dark legs and bill, and the stripe above the eye do it for me. But I'm sure someone more sure than I am will speak up and ID your warblers with more certainty. |

| | | Re: Two for identification Please. 3 and 4 look like a Chiffchaff. Split eye ring, and a slight supercilium.
1 and 2 are puzzling!
Photo 1, i would plump for Marsh Warbler due to the yellowish looking legs, but photo 2 looks like a Reed, with its more noticiable supercilium. Did you get a view of the rump colour? |

| | | Re: Two for identification Please. Hi Gaza, glad you made it here and with such excellent pix too!
First one definitely looks like a Reed warbler, especially now you've put in the extra picture of the reddish rump.
Second bird looks like a Chiff Chaff to me too - but I have already mentioned that to you before
