Chiffchaff or willow warbler?
DKG has sent in beautiful pictures of a tiny green-brown warbler; does anybody know if it is a chaffchaff or a willow warbler? Neither is a rarity and both are known to nest in the park but we really have trouble telling them apart.
It seems to have very dark legs,perhaps an indication it is a chiffchaff.
I’m going to keep score. I think it might be a willow warbler so that’s: chiffchaff- 1; willow warbler- 1
Another for chiffchaff from Lisa Burge on Facebook;
Chiffchaff- 2; willow warbler- 1
I’m throwing in another chiffchaff vote.
After a 2 minute Google I am now an expert….. 😂😂😂
How did we ever manage before there was Google?
chiffchaff – 3; willow warbler – 1.
My friend who is a twitcher says it’s a chiffchaff. They have dark legs. Willow warblers have orange legs.
The chiffchaffs have it, I think; Chiffchaffs 4 – Willow warblers 1.
