Willow Warbler

I think this is a Willow Warbler but I'm happy to be corrected. I liked the lighting on this but wasn't as pleased with the strands of cobweb.

Hi Robert, Willow Warbler, it is, agree I like the light, however it is a shame about the cobweb that features accross the birds body.

Love the back light on this. Web thingy wouldn't be too hard to get rid of maybe?
Not sure about ID. Doesn't the full orbital ring in Autumn say Chiff?? Primary projections look shortish too. I don't know.

Hi John, Willow Warblers are a hard call (for me anyway) my rationale for calling Willow over Chiff are the birds legs, this birds legs are paler than the normal Chiff (which are often dark)

I like the pic a lot, backlighting is beautiful and the cobweb...what the heck!

Hey Robert.
I really like it ,cobwebs and all.

Cheers Mitch.

I can never tell the 2 apart from a photo, so no help from me. I like the shot though, very nice. Lovely lighting and setting.

Lovely shot of a Willow Chif. Excellent lighting.

Nice! The backlighting is great. Tis a shame about the cobweb, but more more I look at it, the more I don't mind it!

Tought light, but the web makes it!

Hi Robert,

Awesome! Love that light! I think the cobweb adds interest IMO!
