| | | Willow Warbler
Saw and heard this chap singing it's heart out today in Banstead Woods.
From it's song I'm pretty sure it's a Willow Warbler but a confirmation is always appreciated.    |

The lack of a noticeable eye ring, the more prominent eye-stripe and supercilium and the warm yellow-green of the plumage do suggest Willow Warbler to me.

Er... with all that yellow and white it looks more like a Wood Warbler to me.

Interesting idea solus! Although personally I'm sticking with Willow Warbler.

Thanks for the confirmation Leifus and Hedge Witch.
Actually Solus my first thought was Wood Warbler when it flew up to the tree, but when it started singing the descending cadence was quite unmistakable. | | |
