Warbler ID please

[Pekehour]

Warblers were created to keep the novice bird-watcher humble. I'm guessing chiffchaff. What is it really?

Second image link is broken, can you repost it? It seems to be singing, can you recall the song/pattern/tempo? It's the clincher with warblers.

That top image looks a bit like a wren....maybe it is just me

I hope this works:



As regards song, every bird in the county was singing at the same time and I couldn't pick out this individual's song from the rest. There was definitely something with a two-syllabled call that I thought was chiffchaff (but I am rubbish at birdsong identification) and also a lot of those little warblers that go whirrrrrr rather than singing... Not very helpful, I'm afraid.

Don't really know maybe a willow warbler or maybe a garden warbler not sure I would like to see what the others think.

Hi Pekehour. It looks from your photos like it could be a Dunnock. I know they're singing at the moment, cos I heard one yesterday.

[Johnny81]

Hmm yes Dunnock is a possibility too Looks a bit pale but this is a rather awkward photo angle in my opinion.
