Chiffchaff in woodland

Thought this was a Whitethroat but thanks to Thibaud, I know this is not the case. I now believe it to be a Chiffchaff

Hi NattyOne, your bird isn't a white throat. Note the greyish, greenish tones, pale eyebrow and very small bill. It's a Phylloscopus warbler, most likely a chiffchaff.
(Check out Philip's photo for comparison: much more reddish and no eyebrow

      Thanks again, think it's a Chiffchaff rather than the Willow Warbler Posted 5 years ago
