    Warbler? Yes that's a Willow Warbler. The call is usually the best id method as it is quite distinctive. The other id tip to distinguish it from a Chiffchaff is the leg colouring. Normally the WW has more fleshy leg colour as in this pic whereas the cchaff normally has dark legs.

    118BCA60CF3547FB8D6AF6CFE2BCF2B7-0000315944-0002336073-00800L-37E93DAD13EF446BA013C5CE13A39DE2.jpg





    Jay? That is a Jay alright. The white rump as it fly's away is normally a good indicator. It also often gives a screeching call as it flies from one are to another. Nice Bird

    Second bird is Coal tit and it's chick.
    Third bird meadow pipit.
    It is a redshank.
    A swift beautifully caught in flight.
    It is a buzzard.

    The growth on the tree is a lumpy thing:D

    I think I saw something like this on a telly a few years ago. It might be caused by a certain species of wasp, but I'm only guessing.

    whyulittle,
    as a matter of interest, how far away are you from the Buzzard and Kestrel in the pics above?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,878 whyulittle
    ✭✭✭


    I'd say less than 100 yards for the Kestrel, more for the Buzzard - both taken at 400mm.

    Buzzard had started to pull away in the shot below, but you get the general idea.
