| | | Birds for ID please Sorry to be such a pain, but I'm having trouble with these!
First three at Stodmarsh this morning. Thought the first two were the same bird, but chest now looks a bit different. A warbler(s) of some sort?
Third one looks to be a young something?
Last one in my garden this evening. Think it is a Juvenile Starling, but looks a little different from the others. And behaves totally different. They all go for my fat balls like mad. He just kept pecking at Sunnydale's perching post!
Cheers,
Bryan

| | | Re: Birds for ID please Willow Warbler of Chiffcaff!
Quite important to me guys as either will be new for my Life List: for me that is birds I have a decent photo of.
Different view of it. Annoyingly the face is just out of focus.
Does this hep you decide?
Cheers,
Bryan

| | | Re: Birds for ID please Because of the darker legs in the last photo, I am inclined to change my mind and say chiffchaff. The legs look paler in the previous photos.
