Two little brown jobs.

[Gerel]

Hi all,

can anyone confirm or correct my ID's on these two from today? Both were in a patch of clearfell, re-planted with broadleaves, in the middle of a large conifer plantation.

Lousy shots I'm afraid, they were both too far away for the lens and I've cropped them heavily.

1. Yellowish face and pale leg make me think wood warbler but I always struggle with warblers.



2.i think this is whatever the British race of Redpoll is called now (lesser?) but am not sure about the dark eyestripe.



regards

Steve

i'd say willow warbler and lesser redpoll!

Willow warbler and lesser redpoll for me too.

Thanks both,

suppose I should have known it was a willow warbler, after all it is sitting in a willow

If only they'd all make it that easy ;-)
